    what books made you cry?

    I know I cried during the last two Harry Potter books. And I know I've cried during other books, I just can't remember them right now. Then again, I cry too much for me to remember everytime I do. I think I rather enjoy it. But I remember the times I cried while reading Harry Potter because...

    Question Game

    I don't like massages. I know I'm weird. I don't know if this has been asked or not, because I don't have time to read all the posts. What books do you consider to be guilty pleasures?

    Why read books?

    Growing up as an only child with divorced parents, I've always used reading as an escape. Now, it just makes me feel more peaceful and comforts me. I have stronger emotions about somethings in books than I do about other things in real life. If I go anywhere, nine times out of ten, I have a book...

    Being the piano player than I am, I thought you meant a musical keyboard. Now that would give you some interesting names.

    Kate Chopin: The Awakening

    I read this for English last semester, and I loved it. I've also read the short story about the baby of a different race, and I thought it was wonderfully written. I need to get my hands on some more of her writing.

    Book nerd level

    Reading is what I do. I always have at least one book with me, but hardly a day goes by when I don't have less than three books. I've just now started to catalog my books, and now that I'm on spring break, hopefully I can get some done on that. If I ever forget to bring any books with me, I feel...

    How to keep a book looks like new forever.

    I have never understood why you would buy something that has a use and let it sit on a shelf. My books go everywhere with me; home, school, the restroom, the bath, on trips, to the movies, everywhere. I also love bags and the bigger the better, because I usually carry at least 2-3 books with me...

    Newer books with huge font = bad

    Large-font books make my head hurt. Mind you I'm near-sighted, so when I'm without contacts or glasses, I have to hold the book about 5-6 inches from my face. And with large print, I tend to get really frustrated. However, I do know people for whom bigger words are a blessing. All of my...

    Mark Haddon: The Curious Incident Of The Dog In The Nighttime

    Curious Incident of the Dog In the Night-time Written by Mark Haddon I just finished this today, and I have to say that I thoroughly enjoyed it. It led me to thinking about how we take our feelings for granted and how so many things we say aren't what we really mean. Has anyone else read...

    Bookshelf organisation

    I have just recently started a database of all my books, at both of my houses. So far I have two shelves of fiction done and a very small portion of non-fiction done. Maybe I'll work on that some this afternoon...

    Book Buying Freeze

    I have always had a problem of spending whatever money I have on me when I go to Barnes and Noble. I feel an overwhelming compulsion to find something that I like and buy it. However, now that I'm saving up for a trip I'm taking later this spring, I have more self-discipline.

    Do you read children's books?

    I read what appeals to me. Being a young adult, I have an excuse to read books labeled as such, but I'm beginning to venture out to the general fiction section. I have gained some respect for classics, despite my English classes, and I try to balance my reading levels.

    Here I am.

    Hello all from Arkansas. See? Some of us are literate. I'm a youngster, still in high school to be exact. I love reading and discussing what I've read. I've been looking for a fun, yet intellectual place to talk about books I've read and see what others are reading. So far, I'm highly...

    My most frequent day dreams have me as the CEO of Barnes and Noble. I love books, but I don't know if I'll ever realistically look into making them part of my career.
