I once went through a Mary Stewart phase. I've seen all the Bond movies and once sat through the movie version of Candy which was awful.

I've read oe in each category (In His Own Write and The Spy Who Came in From The Cold), but it seems odd to classify In His Own Write as non-fiction!

We have Mary Stewart's book.

The Rector of Justin sat around my folk's house for a long while, and then we had a copy also, unread at both locations.

I remember reading Profiles in Courage, but not sure that I owned it.

This Rough Magic is one of my favorite Mary Stewart books, and I love The Spy who came in from the cold. I had to read Profiles in Courage in 6th grade for a Great Books class -- I'm not sure it's really a great book, but I enjoyed it at the time. I've read the John Lennon book and probably the Peanuts and James Bond books, too, but I can't say for certain.

It's funny - as soon as I saw the year I thought of the John Lennon book, but I didn't know it was a bestseller. Huh. I keep meaning to add that book to my collection.

Woot! Three from this year for me! Candy, You Only Live Twice, and one of my personal favorite nonfictions of all time, A Moveable Feast.

None for me

I just re-read The Rector of Justin about 2 months ago, lovely book.

I am currently reading The Spy Who Came In from the Cold, and have Herzog on the TBR list.

I've read This Rough magic by the wonderful Mary Stewart and The Spy Who Came in From the Cold - not a great Le Carre fan though.
