Non-Fiction

Looking at my 2003 best-of list, I was surprised to see nine fiction titles. I don't know if I made a conscious decision to read more fiction last year (my 2002 list had only five fiction titles) but I now realize that I've put off reading several non-fiction works which I'm interested in (including several which Julie insists I must read). So, for the next month or two I'm abstaining from fiction, in favor of Barbara Ehrenreich's Nickel and Dimed, Eric Schlosser's Fast Food Nation (and eventually his most recent, Reefer Madness), Eric Alterman's What Liberal Media?, Paul Krugman's The Great Unraveling and Azar Nafisi's Reading Lolita in Tehran.

I hope the fiction portion of my to-read pile won't propogate itself in the meantime, in some sort of jealous retaliation.
