Just over one hundred books added this time, getting me through K, L, and M, along with all the alphas lower than that that have accumulated in the last week, a not inconsiderable amount. I'll get through this pile of books yet.

Well, that's G-J taken care of. Sorry for the long delay, a 37-page paper on Quaternions took over my life for a bit, and then there was pre-Finals fun. The dreaded tests themselves are next week, but that means I'm past any chance of new homework, and since I never was much good at studying anyway, that leaves me lots of free time to catch up on the pile of stuff for the site. There are still a _lot_ of books to be gone through and added.

This is not a complete update. I've got a truly massive list of books to add, which I'm going through in alphabetical order, which is why all books added this time were A-C authors. As I go through I'm re-splitting the Alpha lists to make them somewhat more even (trying for the level of roughly 50 books per page). Anyway, updates in the next few weeks will be large and impressive, and don't worry if books submitted don't get added right away, I'll get to them eventually. It's midterm season concurrently, however, so the next update may be late as well.

I love it when people attach the series name (and ordering) to books when they submit them. Saves me from having to read through all the reviews at amazon.com waiting for someone to mention the relationship between books. Pretty standard update, in any event.
