Hmmm... there's a book on this list that I had noted was wonderful, though now I don't remember anything about it, and another book on this list that might be one of my favorite books of all time. And there's a March when I read two books and a March a year later when I read 21. Twenty-one. How in the world did I manage that?

Okay, which book is one of your all-time favorites? I'll guess MIddlemarch or The Uncommon Reader. There are quite a few here I've read, too...but I don't remember a thing about Revenge of the Middle-aged Woman.
I loved both of those but the letters between Eudora Welty and William Maxwell were just wonderful. Revenge of a Middle-Aged Woman was about a (middle-aged!) woman who loses her job, to her younger assistant, and then finds out her husband is having an affair, possibly with her younger assistant -- I don't remember all the details, but I remember enjoying it. :)
I am trying to catch up with Donna Leon's books. I do wish my library had more in paper.
I was trying to look back over my reading this way, and I can do it for months when I was blogging. But my book diary/log doesn't have the months.
