I've loved reading from an early age. I'm thankful for parents that encouraged me to read.

Since January 1, 2008, I've read 39 books, well past my goal of reading one book a week in my busy life.

    Ha! I was just getting ready to post a message on your board. :-) I was going to say that I had just finished reading all of the Vince Flynn books (apart from Protect and Defend, which I still need to purchase), and it was time to get started on my new books. :-D

    I started reading Quicksilver but lost interest after a while. The subject matter and time period is very interesting, but it reads something like a history book adapted into a novel. It isn't as good as Cryptonomicon. However, I do plan to finish it - once I finish the large stack of Vince Flynn novels I purchased at Half Price Books. Another Stephenson book that disappointed me was Snow Crash. The book would have been awesome, except the main subject - a 'computer' virus transmitted visually or through injection that infects humans - was really stupid and completely implausible.

    I see you're reading some more Liparulo! Deadfall was pretty good; Dreamhouse Kings looks very interesting. Let me know what you think of the series.

    You will have to let me know what you think of Uncharted. The synopsis makes it sound like a very interesting book.

    That's pretty impressive! I love to read but until recently haven't allotted myself any time to do it.

    I see you've read Skin by Dekker. What do you think of it? I've heard mixed things but I just bought it on amazon anyway.
