:) Oh yes, I love my mac. I hate it when I'm forced to use windoze...ugh. Wabbit - I've also heard the rumor about the $500 mac...if its true, I'm going to get my parents to buy one, as well. They need something better than what they're using. Watercrystal - It is morningish :) I...

I took the photo from my balcony window:

Usually I will stockpile a series if I like the first book. If I can't get the next at the bookstore, I will surf online until I can (hopefully) find it. If it has yet to be published, I usually will reread the book I've just read (if its good enough). As to getting book two of a...

Umberto Eco: The Name of the Rose. You are a mystery novel dealing with theology, especially with catholic vs liberal issues. You search wisdom and knowledge endlessly, feeling that learning is essential in life.

That's exactly how I felt, Halo. I got his new one, Going Postal for Christmas, and I hope its better than his last (so far, I've heard good reviews).

Thanks everyone :) I actually waited to celebrate until the 23rd, which is dad's birthday. We got together, ate out, and then opened presents. I do not really like any cake but red velvet & cheesecake, and we only had white cake on hand...so no cake for me :)

Welcome! :)

I don't like time limits on my books. Of course, I read them under the timelimit, but I don't like them to be there. And they're entirely too quiet. Libraries are not places that make me want to read...they're almost too impersonal. Mind you, I even worked in one and still feel this way.

I buy secondhand, unless I love the author or just happen to be in need of a book and only new books are available. I'm not a fan of libraries and attempt to avoid them. I'm also lucky in that the Green Valley Bookfair is closeby and provides a big selection of new books, where you can get a...
