Hello, I wasnt sure if this book could make the cut for this topic, since it doesnt say what his actual profession is. If it doesnt please let me know and I'll find something else to read. My review of my books are on the right hand side of my blog under "Finished".
Thanks :)

I just finished my first book for this years challenge - The Story of Doctor Dolittle. It was a fun read and I'm glad this challenge prompted me to take it off the shelf and read it.
Happy Reading!
Hi! Just finished my first book, Iain M. Banks's The Player of Games and the review is now up on my blog page. Thanks for a great challenge! Back to reading... :)

Happy Winter Break, Annie! I just left a review of The Last Templar and am about to start on one for The Zookeeper's Wife. I read four books in five days while in Florida--a wonderful change from my usual rushed pace.
I screwed up my first link. Hope you can remove it. Sorry
Profession was easy depending on what you classify as a profession :D
I did an easy one though. It is called THE HOUSEKEEPER AND THE PROFESSOR by Yoko Ogawa. It is about an Asian lady who is the housekeeper to an elderly professor and she has a son. The professor only has 80 min. of memory and although he is a brilliant mathematician, each day, each hour or two is new to him. The housekeeper is the only one, and the boy, who relate to him and he can relate to. I think it was a very good story. I reviewed it for Curled Up With a Good Book and here is where they posted it http://www.curledup.com/housprof.htm I think that if all mine I entered qualify, then I have met the challenge. If so, what is the next step as I am still new at this. Thanks for letting me play, Annie! Great Challenge!
Keeping to my resolution to choose Australian titles, I've actually read two from this category: The Zookeeper's War by Steven Conte and The Lieutenant by Kate Grenville.

For a profession, I've just read The Post Office Girl by Stefan Zweig. Great book.
Hi Annie - I have just finished "The Senator's Wife" which was great. I'm loving this challenge - thank you!

Hi!
Veens(When I was a Soldier
By Valerie Zenatti)
I hope everyone's having fun!
I'm considering The Alchemy of Stone by Ekaterina Sedia, link here:
http://www.stainlesssteeldroppings.com/?p=1126
since Alchemy is indeed a profession in this book. It was GREAT!!!
As I said at the "Relative" reviews: I feel like I've been on a long (and at times arduous) expedition with The Mapmaker's Wife!
Not to worry: I've read another book with a profession in the title so I am not cheating ;) I just can't get myself to write a review (in English) for it.
And now I actually did it: I wrote the review for my real contestant of the profession category: The Little Emperor, by Martin Bril.
My book for this category was The Museum Guard by Howard Norman.
I finished Kill Artist by Silva
http://cafeshree.wordpress.com/2009/11/16/kill-artist-daniel-silva/
And that's the last of it, I'm all done! Lot's of fun.

Even though I am very late, I still want to finish. I read Blind Assassin by Margaret Atwood. It was fantastic!!!
