71. Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee by Dee Brown.
72. The Lathe of Heaven by Ursula K. Le Guin.
73. Red by Warren Ellis and Cully Hamner.
74. Richard Stark's Parker Book One: The Hunter by Darwyn Cooke.
75. Plastic Man: On the Lam! by Kyle Baker.
76. Old Men In Love: John Tunnock's Posthumous Papers by Alasdair Gray. This is the first time I have read Gray; in fact I don't think I had heard of him before Small Beer Press acquired the U.S. rights to this novel. This is a difficult book to describe--mostly metafiction, but also a historical fiction, and a contemporary one, and many other things besides. I enjoyed it, and I admire it, but I'm not sure I can explain why, yet. I think that I had better read Lanark, though.
