The symbol "(e)" means that I read the book electronically (on an Amazon 3rd Gen. Kindle, previously on a Sony PRS-505 Reader, which I lost). The symbol "(r)" means the work is a re-read for me. The symbol "(a)" means I'm "reading" the book in audio format (unabridged versions only, thank-you), most likely borrowed on CD from the library and ripped to my iPod. (8.5/12)
