Tell me, what is your favorite book (or books)? :)

As much of a "book-eater" that I am, it just occurred to me to start writing down what I have read over the years. I'm only keeping track of books that I have read since early 2007 I might go back further in time, but not much; I'd rather keep it current. Truly, there would be too... more »

    Carey :) Yes ma'am, everything is just dandy in my neck of the woods. Hope the same holds true for you.
    Since you devour books at the same pace I might a Starbuck's Americano, "Discipline" has been put back on my list. Of your high praise for the novel, I think "Gross" intrigues me most - followed closely by "nerdy".
    Thank you again for taking the time to write back. And please don't apologize for any delays - on this fast train we're all on it's a wonder we have to time to log our books on the site, much less write to fellow book nerds half a country away.
    Oh - and you asked about Digital Fortress. Good book if you're a Dan Brown fan AND a nerd. His depiction of what that upper echelon of nerds life would be like is spot on. He did a great deal of study and it shows. If you like totally happy endings, this might leave you short on a couple of points. As for me? I'll pick back up in a few years when my Alzheimer’s kicks in and i've forgotten that i've read it.

    I read The Alchemist on your recommendation. Your opinion was spot on - and I enjoyed the smooth read. Took about 3 sits at the lamp to finish it and left me a good feel about things. Since you are the self acclaimed "book-eater" I would look forward to any more references that you would send my way. otherwise i suppose i'll just look at your reviews for guidance ;)

    Thank you Carey,
    Tis much appreciated. Of your recommendations, I think that The Alchemist sounds most intriguing. I'll let you know what I think of it. You asked something more specific. Honestly - the motivation was seeing the books on your shelf and the ensuing curiosity.
    Oh - and about Discipline by Paco Ahlgren: no ma'am, I have not started reading that as of yet. Barnes and Noble happened to be out of stock on so I think that i'll read The Alchemist next instead.
    thank you again for the time.

    Ms Carey, Would you mind if i bother you for your opinions? I've noticed that you're quite a fan of the inspiriational/self help titles. Of those - which few would you put on top? Sure I'm not itching to read them. Unless, of course, you deem any worthy of the time.
    Thank you.
