I read it a year or two ago and enjoyed it quite a bit, so I'm surprised at how frequently people list it as one of their least favorite books. I've also seen the MTV movie version, which I highly recommend.

My TBR pile is unbelievable. It will take me at least ten years. Immediately following my current book though, I intend to read Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs, by Chuck Klosterman.

Oranges are not the Only Fruit, Jeanette Winterson Magical Thinking, Augusten Burroughs

Possible Side Effects, Augusten Burroughs

I actually did an entry on it in my blog this morning. :) Book & Reader Forums - Wells83's Blog PM me if there's anything else you want to know.

Just finished The Year of Living Biblically: One Man's Humble Quest to Follow the Bible as literally as Possible, by A.J. Jacobs and have now started Mayflower: A Story of Courage, Community, and War, by Nathaniel Philbrick.

I usually read historical fiction or non-fiction, such as biographies or history books.

I'll buy either. If I have a choice between the two though, I prefer paperback for some of the reasons already listed, because they're cheaer and usually easier to read when I'm laying in bed at night.

Look very interesting--I just added it to my que on bookswim!

I was on vacation, so I couldn't help myself. ;) Possible Side Effects, Augusten Burroughs Written on the Body, Jeanette Winterson Haroun and the Sea of Stories, Salman Rushdie Anthem, Ayn Rand Sex, Drugs, and Cocoa Puffs, Chuck Klosterman

I've got about 250 pages left. Intriguing but long. ;)

In New York with James and Cherryl Taggart. Atlas Shrugged, Ayn Rand. I've got somewhere around 250 pages to go.

I'd guess close to that too, but that includes all the books I read in my childhood. In my adult life, at least 500.

The Virgin Suicides is wonderful. If you haven't seen the movie, you should see it at some point. A Secret History is a great read too. It's my sister's favorite book.

I just requested The Corrections, by Jonathan Franzen, on Paperback Swap.

Pure enjoyment, although I know I get much more from reading.

If it's a classic, I'll keep it. Otherwise, unless I really love it, I'll swap it out for another book. If I had a bigger house and more of a disposable income, it would be a different story. As it is, I can rarely afford new books and I've already got four bookshelves crammed full.

Yes, I did. I would recommend reading them in order if possible. I have not read the last few because they got more and more unrealistic as they went along. The first few are delicious though! :)

Oh man...a local school today had a used book sale. I went overboard. Jane Austen: A Life, David Nokes Homestead, Rosina Lippi When Nietzsche Wept, Irvin D. Yalom Memoirs of a Dutiful Daughter, Simone de Beauvoir Dubliners, James Joyce Let Me Be Free: A Nez Perce Tragedy...
