Books Read in 1985

I began these lists on June 6, 1985, the day after my high school graduation. Many of my reading choices here were influenced by a recommended book list at the back of Stephen King's Danse Macabre which I had read the year before. I was also working my way through the fantasy/SF section of the Davis County Library, completing my reading of the James Bond novels, and following along with NPR radio drama adaptations. And, yes, reading War and Peace, ten pages a day.
