I started reading when I was four years old, and I pretty much haven't stopped since. As my mother has remarked, if there's nothing else available, I will read the toothpaste tube. I read everything except romance novels, and as long as the book is well written, I'll finish it even if I'm not thrilled by the story. I guess I'm always... more »

    I really enjoy your contributions - answers/questions and shelf alike. Gad, that shelf is a bookstore all on its own - I'll never get to your 60th shelf (but I'll try, if my curiousity is continually tickled - so far it is)

    The books on your shelf look pretty familiar. Since you have such similiar taste, I might try some on yours that I haven't read!

    I have to agree with Picoult's writing. You spend the entire time in love with the book, and then the ending happens.

    I read 19 Minutes the week it came out. We'll chat when you finish it.

    Your likes and dislikes mirror mine. So glad I'm not the only one that cringes at Kwik Marts and other like purposeful mispellings.

    Hi Aimeesue,
    We have similar taste in books, judging by the ones on your bookshelf. Your shelf is better stocked than Amazon!! I have already found a couple that intrigue me...now I have to read them.

    Hi Aimee. I like your avatar too! Great shelf by the way - I've already found a couple of books to add to my own wish list.

    thanks for the compliment. I fear that I'll never have as many books as you have listed. But one reason could be my embaressmant to put up my star wars and star trek books. I just can't call them goood, fun but not good.

    Hi,

    Love your profile pic! Stopping by to say I'm enjoying perusing your shelf.
    I see we have quite a few books in common, as well as a love of tea!
    Cheers to that. =) Happy reading, and I'd love to talk books with you sometime.

    Dear aimeesue,
    Yes, I am that Viv's "Tom". Neil Stephenson is OK, but sometimes he doesn't "flow" and is hard to read. On the other hand he comes up with some really cool/weird/interesting ideas.
    Have you ever read the Lee Child "Jack Reacher" books? I got into them recently and they are real easy fun reads.

    Thanks for your nice note. Your shelf is fantastic also - I got a lot of great ideas for my wish list. You have such a full shelf that I am going to have to go through it again and make sure I didn't miss anything!
    It's great that you are a SAHM - then you can teach your kids to love reading as much as you do. My mom stayed home when we were young and read to us constantly and I think that is why I love books so much.
    Cheers, Emily
