Shelfari.

I first started out by trying to put in every single book I’ve ever read. Then I realized that was wrong. Because I’m ashamed of some books I’ve read, and there are books I don’t want to talk about either. And there are books I don’t want to promote. So I won’t put in all the Harry Potters, the Paolo Coelhos, and the Amy Tans, or the Vampire Chronicles, or the entire bulk of Choose Your Own Adventures and Hardy Boys (although I loved them dearly) I’ve read throughout the years. Instead, I’ll just put in the books I want you to read, and the books I want to discuss.

So let’s talk Stephen King or Chuck Palahniuk. David Mitchell. The ending of 1984. The writing in The English Patient, or Dandelion Wine. And what other books you think I’d like. « less
