Summer reading. Reading lists.

Are you able to keep all the characters straight?

I found that I needed to keep a pencil and a couple index cards on my bedside table, and would make lists of all the characters and who they were. There must be 40 characters in each book, and you never know if a newly introduced character will be abandoned in 20 pages and can be forgotten, or will continue to appear throughout the book.

Good books though.
