When it comes to reading, I'm a beast.

My library consists of a pretty strange and diverse collection. Like most bibliophiles, I feel the overwhelming need to own anything and everything that catches my attention--checking it out from a library just will not do. It must be sitting proudly on my shelf (or at least in one of the multiple... more »

    I began reading A Seperate Peace Monday night. So far I am enjoying it. I must admit that I am definately looking forward to reading all of the books in APE this year! :)

    Hi Amanda,

    That is a great review of "The Shallows." Although I have not read the book, I have heard the author being interviewed on a couple of occasions and thought that he had some important things to say.

    My theory is that the whole problem he discusses began with "Sesame Street," and has snowballed in more recent times.

    Later,

    Well Mrs.Baltz, I've read every one of those books that I checked out of your room before Christmas and now I'm making trips to Wal-Mart to get more books because I need more to read! It didn't take me long to read those books because I got so into them!

    So. I have recently acquired a Nook from Barnes and Noble and I'm going to start reading again. I assume that you can see my shelf, I have added a few books that I have read in the past and I have a few that I am going to read. Any suggested reading? I'm going to be a total nerd and insist they be available in eBook format so I can carry them on my phone or the Nook. To quote Egon from Ghostbusters, "Print is dead." :)

    Not really, but I figure I have invested all this money in the Nook, I might as well make the most of it.

    Thanks!

    Amanda, I loved your Kindle review - I agree with you ! We like some of the same books, although you read much more widely than I do, Happy reading, Julia in NY

    I got a new Sarah Dessen book and two others I have never seen in your library that look like books our class would read. They're names are Dreamland (Sarah Dessen), The Year My Sister Got Lucky, and In Your Room.
