The Vacation Reading Post

So it's decided: when we head north on Friday, I will take with me the following new books (new to me, anyway) to read:

• Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen
• Persuasion by Jane Austen
• The Color of Water by James McBride
• InterWorld by Neil Gaiman and Michael Reaves
• Ilario: The Lion's Eye by Mary Gentle

Thanks to the flist for helping me decide on which of the Austens to bring!

I've got so much to do before we leave ...
