I am listing my wishlist from Amazon. It is unlikely that I will be able to use the new collection for it, so I will post it here.
I have
12 14 pages, and I am copying and pasting a page at a time into word, and editing it there. Then I will copy it here.
This was page 1 in September 2008. I have let it slide for some months and will try to update it and keep it current.
I use my wishlist to keep track of books that interest me. Some are out of print, and some are not. Many I will buy, but some I will eventually delete.
I try to buy books in paper form rather than Hardcover, even when the HC is discounted.
What I do with in print books, is mark the date they were published and the form. Then in 9-12 months I check the ones with HC notation to find the PB or TP version. I then delete the HC, add the paper version and track that until it is published and I buy it. I do that so I don't lose track of books/authors I am reading.

Instead of putting the many titles from your list that I want to read onto my list, I'm just going to star your list and consider it an adjunct to mine. lolol
Thank you.
