*Brokeback Mountain *Breaker's Reef *The Virgin Suicides *The Preacher's Daughter (at least are the ones that I have finished this month; there will be more)

My town of about 150,000 people has only really one second hand bookstore has a decent selection of books that I am aware of; I don't know of The Salvation Army and their selection of books and MCC doesn't have that great a selection. The only other place that has a buy back policy for books...

I am very close to finishing this book (just have the fifth chapter to read) and I enjoyed the book much better than the movie; thought the movie was a little too surreal and kooky (had just watched The talented Mr. Ripely withing a day or two of The Virgin Suicides). But it was neat to put the...

I read this book in grade twelve and ended up purchasing it. Now I haven't read the book in eight years, but I remember how the book drew me in and I couldn't seem to put it down.:cool:

I was just curious is all. I do have a discount card for the Chapters/Indigo/Coles chain up here in Canada where I have bought books because I could get 30% off the price for the book. But I have walked out of the bookstore without purchasing anything at all. And I whip out my library card...

I just have to ask: are you guys filthy rich :confused: or what? Because at the prices that books are, roughly $20 CDN a book, depending on the size of the book, I would think you guys are rolling in the dough, so to speak. I make $8/hr at a job where I work about 4 hours a week, plus the...

Actually Bode isn't from Canada :p I live about 15 mintues north of Sumas, Washington. I live in Abbotsford, BC, Canada.

I have found that it does depend on what internet browser you are using. For example my Safari browser doesn't allow me to insert hyperlinks, unless I do it manually, but my Firefox browser does allow me to insert hyperlinks using the hyperlink button.:eek: :confused:

Tracy Chevalier has an excellent site. Not only has the books that she has published (with a bunch of information about them including the inspiration for each of her published novels, but it also has what she is currently working on and what books she has read for each month since March 2002...

I read every damn word. :D

I was thinking at least for December that we could read Christmas-type themed books, ie A Christmas Carol.

I live about an hour outside of the site of the 2010 Winter Olympics. It's nothing really special as there is nothing really to do here. It's more like any suburb that you would find in North America. It sucks that the only public transit that would allow you to go into the city would force...

Never Let Me Go and The Birth House

A Complicated Kindness Taken from the Chapter.ca website: Sixteen-year-old Nomi Nickel longs to hang out with Lou Reed and Marianne Faithfull in New York City’s East Village. Instead she’s trapped in East Village, Manitoba, a small town whose population is Mennonite: “the most embarrassing...

I found it tedious as well, but the second part definately picked up, especially after the party of the dead.:p Excellent choice by the way;)

Arthur & George by Julian Barnes (it was the only book that I completed all month long), but I completed Brokeback Mountain at 12:30 am on March 1 (can I count that as well :confused: )

Good minds think alike; I was going to suggest that one as well :cool:

Kathy mentions in the first lines of the book that she is a carer. Does anybody know what that is? I am currently in the process of reading the book (I'm on Chap.9 at present) and am still slightly confused at that. :confused:

Top shelf - series, newer books, etc. 2nd shelf - more memorable books and books I want to read 3rd shelf - library stuff (gotta remember where they are and have easy access to; includes dvds that I get as well 4th shelf - text books from my university days (includes some novels and my Norton...

For me, it's the ability to escape my own reality and go into somebody else's, even if it is for a moment. I generally don't read non-fiction, but read it if the author is known in a field and if a book gets press about it and then I see how I feel. I think it's just to dissolve into another...
