Book meme

So, Jenny's been sending me Doctor Who episodes, and I'm in the middle of a two-parter when Gmail locks down my account for "Unusual Usage." *screams* *throws tantrum*

I don't handle fannish deprivation very well. The episode is within minutes of my grasp, and I'm being denied. Very childish of me, but that's the way it is.

To distract me: The Guardian's Top Twenty Geek Novels, gacked from [livejournal.com profile] marag:
