The Missing Years

As you may have noticed from the dates in this post, there's a gap between 1996 and 2001. What was I reading then? I did not keep chronological track mostly because I was working like a nut at my former job. That all came to a halt on 9/11 and things changed to be a period of recovery and attempt to save the job.

In looking over my book database, some scattered notes and the like, I've put together what is the most accurate list of books that I can come up with for the period. I have not included about another thirty or so that I read while studying for my CFA. That's a period of time I'd rather not revisit! You'll see a good mix of science fiction and fantasy, historical fiction, and a good chunk of non-fiction. The non-fiction was partly related to the SF, partly related to my awakening interest in my religious belief system from childhood and partly (mostly!) related to business reading. See below the fold for authors and titles...

About 560 books. About 140 books a year. I was commuting. A lot. That gave me a lot of "down time". Plus, part of this period was BC, before child, so there was more free time. And just as little, overall, television watching. And less online time (no blog, fewer discussion groups, and the like).

Looking at the titles. Sigh, did I really waste all that time on these business books? Some were good, but overall they were as fluffy as the internet bubble itself. Some very good non-fiction titles here, even the old "outdated" ones by Serviss, Olcott and Peltier. Some great SF here, a lot of which I will have to visit again.
