Books I've read in 2009

[vilakins]

I got this idea from shinyjenni: the list of books I've read in 2009. Actually, it's more accurately the list of books I've borrowed from the library as they provide a handy reading history which I've just copied and pasted. I've read a few more, but can't be brothered trying to remember them. Feel free to ask me about any.

Yes! It is tremendous fun. I want to win the lottery so I can spend my days making legofics. I saw some B7 lego the other day and LOL-ed so much.

Also that is the randomest icon ever. What's the story behind it?

:-D I actually own this cow! There's this thing where artists all over the world paint huge life-sized cow statues--I've seem 'em here--and this was a small version I found on my birthday. I posted about it here. (http://vilakins.livejournal.com/275396.html) It's the right size for mu Roman gladiator action figures too! I even posted a picture of one with it! I put links at the bottom to the whole cow thing. Mine was called Russell Cow, but she's a girl so I've called her Maxima.

[Edit] It works better with the proper link. :-P
