This is not a complete list of everything written on the novel, but a fairly comprehensive list of what I have read/want to read. The asterisks represent favorite treatments; NOTES, PDF, OWN are private records.
(My apologies for formatting irregularities. I fixed what I cd without going into the code and removing extraneous tags.)
