I am the sort who roots for the underdog, uses Apple computers, knows that playing music is better than listening to it, believes chocolate is a food group, loves animals, swims like a fish, and stands up for people and things I believe in.

    I recently finished the Selected Works..... and loved it. Aren't the illustrations fascinating? I don't know what the book selection is I have to look it up.

    I just finished The Color of Water. I found it very inspiration, which is very unusual for me. I'm between books right now and should probably start next months' book club selection. Do you have any suggestions?

    I'm looking forward to our online personal book club. You and I have many similar literary tastes.

    I have to admit, I haven't added any friends to my shelfari profile yet. But, I'd like to keep in touch with you. So, please feel free to friend me.
    I also tend to be more of a nonfiction reader, and am in the last half of a new book titled "The Third Chapter: Passion, Risk, and Adventure in the Twenty-five Years After 50". Having just reached 50, I'm pretty interested in making sure I make the most of life's next phase. The book is pretty inspirational, and will help me look for ways I can make a difference.

    I didn't like the Secret Life of Bees. It was too descriptive for me. If you like books that good into great detail before actulally telling the story, you might like this.

    I hadn't heard of Serena by Ron Rash, but I'll place it on my radar.
    If you wouldn't mind, let me know what you think of Reliable Wife once you read it.
    Enjoy!

    I read A Reliable Wife earlier this year.
    Really enjoyed the book, very descriptive. Seemed to take me right into each scene of the book. Based in rural Wisconsin, 1909. In the bitter cold, Ralph Truitt, a successful businessman, stands alone on a train platform waiting for the woman who answered his newspaper advertisement for "a reliable wife." But when Catherine Land steps off the train from Chicago, she's not the "simple, honest woman" that Ralph is expecting. She is both complex and devious, haunted by a terrible past and motivated. Captivating novel.

    Good idea. You're smart.

    I've got The Girl Who Played With Fire on hold, but I'm still like 80 down on the list. I need to figure out a way to identify books I might want to read before they actually come out. That way I might get a jump on everyone else.

    Thanks for adding me - I see on the books we have in common that you read James Herriot and Fannie Flagg. Like my shelf, they sort of contradict the other dramatic fiction that resides there. I love their innocence - those books are just the pick me up I need when I've been reading something heavy like Lolita or The Known World. You say that it is better to play music than to just listen - I envy that. What do you play and what kind of music?

    I hate you! I can't believe how addicting this site is... And you have twice as many books as I do!! Sigh. Yes - it's ironic that while adding all the books I've read, own, or want to read to my shelf, I am, indeed, not reading. You are eeeeevil!
