Author index for Margaret's book log
book log -- archives -- index by category -- favorite books -- links
This is an index by author of all of the books I've read, logged, and commented on since September 2000. For several years (about January 2001 to September 2003), I only logged books without commenting on them or reviewing them, so those books are not indexed, though the plain lists of what I read are available from the archives page, organized by year and month.
