I love to read, always have and always will. I can get lost in a book store for hours-making lists and wishing I had more time to read, more money to buy, and more room to keep my lovely books. I have read every book listed on my shelves, not to say that I liked every book, but I did read it. I love this site to get new ideas and to add to my... more »

    Ohhh I really liked the Wally Lamb book you're reading. It was the first book I read for book club! I had been invited by an aquaintance and I read that GIANT book and i liked it so much and was so pleased with myself for completing it before the meeting...on the day of the meeting I was calling her and calling her but she never picked up. I liked that book so much that I went by myself to a stranger's house to talk about it with 10 other strangers! Ha! Here I am, 6 years later, running that book club.

    Wow, hi- it's been a while. I just noticed your avatar and it made me smile. I am reading Ken Follet's THE PILLARS OF THE EARTH and I really like it. I am doing well otherwise. Drop me a line sometime and let me know how you are doing. Jason

    Thanks so much for the friend invite! We seem to have alot of the same taste book wise. I checked out your favorites shelf and we share many favorite books. I love Jennifer Weiner and didn't realize I had missed the book you are currently reading, added it to my wish list of course. Look forward to discussing good books, etc, with you.

    how flattering! LOL Hope I shelve something that you didn't know you wanted. I have found quite a few very good books here in that way.

    When I found this site I was really just looking for a way to list the books I have read just for my own recall. I really did get so much more out of it.

    I miss Higbie Bagels. LOL No such thing as a good bagel in FL. Pizza or chinese, either. I love food about as much as I love books. LOL

    Hey Dana - thanks for accepting! It was overwhelming - that you are in WI, your desire for more time, money, and book space - then add in the common book #...I thought you were me. LOL I was in WI for 10 years - I miss it very much.

    Hey Dana- I loved Owen Meany and like John Irving in general (except for Hotel New Hampshire). The movie adaptation "Simon Birch" is decent, too- what do you think? I am reading "Hearts in Atlantis" by Stephen King right now, I like it, but don't love it- it is promising and I hope it gets better. We had a miserable windy and rainy day, but over all it has been nice. How are things up your way?

    Hi Dana! Judging by your rating, I guess "The Idiot Girl....." is worth reading? I read the summary and thought about adding it to the list of books I plan to read;)

    Hey Dana, I am just dropping by to say a quick hello. I am reading "A Thousand Splendid Suns" by Khaled Hosseini- his follow up to "The Kite Runner". It is still really hot here- in the 90's everyday- I am really ready for fall and weather in the low 70's and 60's. What have you been up to lately?
