I'll read almost anything, except romances and westerns.
As for nonfiction, I love memoirs, science, philosophy, psychology, philosophy, and ethnographies.
From the used bookstore:
Seven Types of Ambiguity by Elliot Perlman
The Heart of Redness by Zakes Mda
My Life as a Fake by Peter Carey
Drinking: A Love Story by Caroline Knapp
Hmm.. February, I read:
- Crystal Lies by Melody Carlson
- My Friend Leonard by James Frey
- Prozac Nation by Elizabeth Wurtzel
- The Historian by Elizabeth Kostovo
- The Myth of You and Me by Leah Stewart
- Saturday by Ian McEwan
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!
I guess my top 5 will be 5 I borrowed from the library today.
1. Saturday by Ian McEwan
2. Never Let Me Go by Kazuo Ishiguro
3. A Million Little Pieces by James Frey
4. The Geographer's Library by Jon Frasman
5. Secret Life of Laszlo, Count Dracula by Roderick Anscombe
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...
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:
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.
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.
