“I am at this moment writing a lengthy indictment against our century. When my brain begins to reel from my literary labors, I make an occasional cheese dip" Well not really but I do so love that quote. If you know to whom it's attributed and enjoyed the book it's from then you're OK in my book. Reading is my favoite past time and there's no... more »

    Salutations! I see you just read The Magicians and I was wondering what you thought of it.

    Hey Arely, I love that quote too, and the book it's from -- it's one of my favorites. It seems to elicit a strong love or hate reaction with readers here on Shelfari :) Happy reading!

    Ja. you need to expand your verticals and your horizons both. ;P

    Nah, your reading habits are as diverse as mine, it's just my library is bigger because, well, i buy tons of books and never get rid of them, only lend them out like a crazy person. Though admittedly, now that I have my Kindle, I buy less physical books and am expanding my ebooks like crazy.

    the last really great book I read was Kazuo Ishiguro's Never Let Me Go. Excellent book. Incredibly moving.

    I'm currently on Book 8 of the 10 book (actually thirteen book) Malazan Book of the Fallen series by Steven Erikson. The best books are actually the first 3, which are small masterpieces...the others don't quite live up to those first three, but are really good, and you end up wanting/needing to read the rest just because you've invested so much in these characters...that you almost have an obligation to see it to the end.

    Hope you had a good New Year. Our refrigerator broke down this morning. Thing was practically new. sigh.

    Keeeee-YAH!

    I just karate chopped you. Just in case you were wondering.

    Chow, baby!
