Books by Kossacks
Tue Jun 24, 2008 at 05:00:49 PM PDT
Every Tuesday evening (more or less) I post the list I've been keeping of books published by authors who hang out here (or who used to hang out here or who are closely related to someone who hangs out here). This list got its start in the weekly diary series What Are You Reading and Bookflurries. Be sure to check those out if you like to talk about books.
This list has grown so much that I've split it into multiple sublists. If any author feels misclassified by this system, just let me know and I'll be happy to move you to whichever section you think best describes your work.
As large as it is, I'm sure this list is not yet complete. If you know of any any authors who I am missing, respond in the comments or send me email. If you're an author who'd like to be added to the list anonymously, email me and I'll be happy to leave off your dKos ID.
