Reading is an addiction for me. I read to escape, to learn, to dream, and to live.

I will give anything a try. I love excellent writing, deep characters, moral lessons, interesting storylines. I love falling in love with the characters and feeling like I know them personally. I love being surprised and being on the edge of my seat. I... more »

    Greetings Shelfari friend!

    Haven't been around much recently, too busy with life!

    How are things with you?

    Read anything good recently?

    I'm on my 75th book so far this year!

    Hope all is well...

    Really. I didn't realize that the first is that old. I agree, the architecture crap could go.

    Hey! Have you read _Pillars of the Earth_? I really think you'd like it! I'm reading it now and I'm only on page 200 but I think it may be your kind of book. It's long, intense, and it's historical fiction (to a point).

    I am the Moon everywhere and nowhere.
    Do not seek me outside;
    I abide in your very life.
    Everybody calls you towards himself;
    I invite you nowhere except to yourself.
    Poetry is like the boat and its meaning is like the sea:
    Come onboard at once!
    Let me sail this boat!

    Hi, I just posted a very special interview with Juile Lessman, author of "A Passion Most Pure". She is giving away a copy of her book if you leave a comment on my blog. Check it out www.psalm516.blogspot.com. She'll be giving the book away next week.

    I know what you mean about sexual scenes. I hate it when a book has to go into detail on that kind of thing. I was reading a book called The Reincarnationist recently, and there was a very vivid(and corny)sex scene. I actually stopped reading the book. I don't know. It just turned me off to the whole thing, and it had been interesting before that scene.

    Hey, I see you've read Water for Elephants. This book was suggested to a friend of mine, and I looked it up...but I don't know if it is the book for me. Is there a lot about animal abuse/neglect? What about it made it crude? Should I read it? I'm really unsure about it, and I don't want to read something that makes me feel all weird inside(That sounds lame, but do you know what I mean?).

    I fully plan on writing reviews...very soon! I only found this site because of the shelf on your myspace profile. I looove it! I'm having a bit of a difficult time remembering books that I've read in the past 10 years or so, but I seem to remember every book I ever read growing up. Strange. Anyway, this site rocks my socks! I can't wait to go through your shelf:D

    Hello, I am Ben, I just joint the King Arthur group. I have enjoyed browsing your shelf. I have added the Jack Whyte books to my wish list. I had read his Knights of the Black and White, and I will get his next book in that series. I enjoyed his writing style.

    How do you like PILLARS OF THE EARTH so far? I'm about halfway through, and as I am a relatively slow reader, it's taking me awhile. I like it, but so far I'm not sure what all of the hype is about.

    I loved it, I had the hardest time putting it down! I haven't seen the movie yet, it hasn't made it to the theaters here, but I've heard it wasn't as good as the book.
