Robbie Fischer's Shopping List

As you can see, I have a lot of stuff on my wish list. If you happen to know me personally, and you've come to this site to check up on me, think of this as a sort of gift registry when you're trying to decide what to give me for Christmas. Otherwise I'll just have to wait until I can scrape together enough pennies to buy them myself! (Or, I could check them out of the library...) Remember, folks, I don't make a lot of money, so this list may give you an idea as to why it takes me so long to read and review your favorite books!

If it isn't listed here, reviewed on The Book Trolley, or listed on the Reader-Recommended Titles page, and you think it deserves mention, drop me a line. It may be that I already own the book but haven't posted a review of it yet...or maybe I've never heard of it!
