How was The House? I've been wanting to read that.

Argh, my TBR pile has hundreds of books now. It's sad. Not only do I keep buying more, I keep borrowing stacks of books from the library each week too!

I'll do the last paragraph.. this book I'm reading isn't particularly suspenseful or anything. Heh. Short paragraph! Book is "The Reading Group" by Elizabeth Noble.

- The Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood - Everyone Worth Knowing by Lauren Weisberger - The Schopenhauer Cure by Irvin D. Yalom - Thirty-Eight Witnesses: The Kitty Genovese Case by A.M. Rosenthral - The Frog Prince by Jane Porter - The Last of Her Kind by Sigrid Nunez - Am I Thin Enough...

I always read at night.. usually from about 1am-3am these days. Night time just seems to set the mood best for me.

I love to read nonfiction, but as someone else said, it seems that there's less to discuss there in a lot of cases.

Anything is better than Saturday :o

I finally got around to reading The Handmaid's Tale. I thought it was good.. but not great. I think from all the glowing recommendations I was expecting a little more. And then I read Robber Bride. Not a book I'd recommend, I think.

House of Leaves.. if you're patient and have time on your hands

Gosh, now that I think about it I don't think I've ever cried from a book OR movie.

I prefer a little noise when I'm reading. I usually turn on music or the TV. If it's nonfiction with concepts that I'm having trouble grasping, I absolutely can't read while people are talking. Anything else is fine though.

I only have 3 of my library books sitting here in my immediate TBR pile. -Labyrinth: Kate Mosse -For Laci: Sharon Rocha -Kafka on the shore: Haruki Murakami

Every Good Boy Does Fine by Tim Laskowski Breakfast of Champions by Kurt Vonnegut Fury by Salman Rushdie House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski No Way to Treat a First Lady by Christopher Buckley God Shaped Hole by Tiffanie DeBartolo Death of an Ordinary Man by Glen Duncan (boring)

My library's store sells hardcover fiction for the same price as trade paperback. I prefer hardcover, but since I only buy used books I tend to just buy what's available. I hate the short paperbacks though.

The Zahir (Paulo Coelho) Death of an Ordinary Man (Glen Duncan) Those were the two most recent. I quit both about halfway through, maybe a little further. I try not to leave a book unfinished but once I get to a point where I really don't care at all what happens next, I quit. There are...

Heh, I love so many of these listed, especially Fahrenheit 451 and Pride and Prejudice. I think most of the Oprah bookclub picks have been overrated.

I don't use one. I just try to remember the page number.

I only keep books that I think I'll want to read again. I try to borrow from the library first, decide if I like it, and then purchase, but it rarely actually works that way.

I don't have a list of books I own. It would be embarassingly long. I have a list on Amazon of books I "need". It is 976 books long thus far. I haven't started keeping track of books I've read until this January.
