Some thoughts:
X Factor by Andre Norton
XPD by Len Deighton
X Rated: The Mitchell Brothers, A True Story of Sex, Love and Death by McCumber
Xenocide by Orson Scott Card
XXX: A Woman’s Right to Pornography by Wendy McElroy
I dislike Orson Scott Card and don’t want to read anything else he’s written.
TW was just giving me some ideas and we are both mourning the loss of traditional card catalogs!
Thanks for the ideas!
You could always save up Endymion Spring and I have a bed of buttermilk pancakes for E and I…. Sadly 2007 isn’t as far away as I think it is…
Oh and for D you could add the next Lauren Willig book – Deception of the Emerald Ring.
I’ve seen a number of people use X President for their x selection.
I need to start working on my list…
Do I have this right? You’re going to read them in order? I thought we could skip around. In order sounds a little rigid, kind of like regular school classes. I’d rather do the homeschool method and go with whatever works and feels good.
oh goodness, I’m not reading them in order. that would be too hard! LOL
I’m doing the homeschool feels good method!
Yay! You found an X!
