Ellen's book list
This is a list of all the books I read in 1995, along with my ratings. (On the left are links to the rest of the books I've read since 1988, when I first started keeping track.) The "Buy" links take you to that book on Amazon (the paperback version) and the author links take you the Amazon page that lists all of that author's books. My -4 to +4 ratings scale is explained below the list.
