6. Pandora by Anne Rice
7. Life's Other Secret: New Mathematics of the Living World by Ian Stewart [a bookring]
8. The Professor and the Madman: A Tale of Murder, Insanity, and the Making of the Oxford English Dictionary by Simon Winchester

This last in particular made me think that [livejournal.com profile] regyt might like it. Currently I have no plans for it.

I am now interested in some of the other books on the making of the OED (that hopefully would not focus so much on this aspect). There are a bunch mentioned at the end, but have you read any of them?
