    Pictures of your book collection

    I'll try and take pictures when I'm back home, if I remember. Mine are an embarassing mess compared to these pics, though. I have about a thousand books, and only one bookshelf. I have stacks everywhere that stacks can possibly go!

    Elizabeth Kostova: The Historian

    I have about 150 pages left. I had a really hard time getting into this one initially. I wasn't crazy about the format of 'tell a little of the story.. leave us hanging by going on another vacation.. tell a little more.. vacation again' and so on. And I'm not the biggest fan of reading...

    Why do you read fiction?

    I love fiction and nonfiction. But I'm on a fiction kick lately because fiction is always fun, even when my life is boring. I love the feeling and the perspective of seeing life through another's eyes, even if they're not entirely real eyes. :cool:

    Everyone Worth Knowing by Lauren Weisberger

    This is on my list of books to read, despite the fact that everyone tells me it's a lot worse than the Prada title.

    Melissa Bank: Girl's Guide To Hunting And Fishing

    Is this better than The Wonder Spot?? I recently read Wonder and found myself just begging the author to hurry up and get on with it already. It started out fabulously, but by the last half I was bored out of my mind.

    Philippa Gregory: The Other Boleyn Girl

    I'm reading the Queen's Fool now. I'm really enjoying it. I'll have to backtrack to The Other Boleyn Girl next :)

    Ray Bradbury: Fahrenheit 451

    I think I'll track this one down in a thrift store or library so I can read it again. It's always been one of my favorites!

    What's wrong with the public library?

    I don't think I've purchased a new book, except as a gift to someone else, in 10 years. I borrow from the library about twice a month. When I do buy, it's used books either from the library's store or the thrift stores. If I bought new books, at the rate I go, I'd be living under a bridge.
