159. Across the Nightengale Floor: Tales of the Otori Book One by Liam Hearn
160. On Reading by Andre Kertesy (photography. very lovely!)
161. Ghost Girl (poems) by Amy Gerstler (like playing in a shop full antique toys, a bit whimsical, a pit like a treasure hunt in a friend's back yard)
162. The Flaneur: A Stroll Through the Paradoxes of Paris by Edmund White, The Writer & the City series (a wonderful little read for anyone who loves obsure, footnote-ish history, cities, Paris... J.E. & A.B. would probably both enjoy.)
163. Stiff: The Curious Lives of Human Cadavers by Mary Roach (Informative, intriguing, gross at points in a CSI kind of way. Awesome.)
164. Gourment Rhapsody by Muriel Barbery (Same author as The Elegance of the Hedgehog. She needs to publish again as soon as possible.)
165. Fragile Things by Neil Gaiman (re) (Still awesome, maybe my favorite Neil Gaiman, maybe.)
166. Idoru by William Gibson (Not quite as lovely as Pattern Recognition, but still good futuristic fun with computers.)
