I'm really quite addicted to books - reading them and owning them. I can quite happily spend hours in a book store just browsing, and love to talk to anyone who will engage in a conversation about books and literature.

    I loved it. I'm so glad that I read your post and picked it up and read it myself. Have you read the third one yet? I just started it.

    Nice eclectic collection of books on your shelf! Reading, cooking, gardening and cycling, very impressive. I have the same interests and follow them all avidly. Good luck on the 50 book challenge, I tried that last year, but fell short. Life just got in the way. I am thinking that I will try that again next year. Have a great day!

    think I may have started a bit late on my shelf! but will try and remember. I used to keep every book I had ever read but leading a life where I moved house approx every 18 months and my book collection was yet another thing to pack I started to give them away. I do understand why people would want to keep their books though but now I am perfectly happy to have a note of everything I have read stored for me on Amazon.

    Lots of books!, great selection too. I thought about adding all the books I've read but have probably forgotten at least 2/3rds of them but I will upload all the titles I have read in the past year.

    I'll probably read one after every heavy book I finish. Something to look forward to.

    I liked ONE FOR THE MONEY. It was pretty funny. I laughed out loud a couple of times. 4*s

    Rebecca, here is another book I think you would really enjoy, also suggested by my friend Leigh. "The Voluptuous Delights of Peanut Butter and Jam" by Lauren Liebenberg another South African writer who also writes descriptively. I am 1/2 way through and really liking the story.

    I am just starting it today. It seems pretty amusing, the first page or two.

    It is a photo where I merged parts of the books cover, after scanning it into a photo format with one of my photographs, creating a fairy environment. I sent it to Leigh. If you want to send me your e-mail I will send it to you.

    I am only about 40 pages in but love the writing style and story. What an imagination this author has. I was fooling around with the cover of the book and one of my photos and came up with a really interesting photo.

    I just started the book, it was recommended by another shelfari friend Leigh, she is from Johannesburg, you should check out her page from my friends list, she has some interesting books listed, she mainly read books on Africa. She said Gem Squash Tokoloshe was the saddest book she had read all year. I will let you know what I think.

    I like your shelf and really appreciate yopur reviews. I also like the variety of books on your shelf that are not common to my shelf. I will definitely check back to your shelf when I am ready to select my next read!

    Based on your shelf, I'd highly recommend anything by David Mitchell, but my favorites are "Cloud Atlas," "Black Swan Green," and "The Thousand Autumns of Jacob de Zoet."
    Pura vida,
    Jeff

    Wow, 70% here is a C- in the grade school level. In college it's, not much better, a C or B-. It has a lot to do with what school you go to though! I wonder if the grading scales in Europe reflect how hard their schools are? Thank you for your well wishes. I am glad to get the whole bloody thing out of the way, I have terrible test anxiety!

    Joshua T Clowers says

    Wow, I think you can keep up with the pace though. Finals are already over for me, however I won't know how I've done until we start back next quarter (that's a week from now!) Does Oxford go by a "pass/fail" system or do they use number and letter grading?

    Hey Becca, howdy do. Me and Halo created a new group called Slippery Fish Island. It's similar to the Classics group but we aren't limiting it to just the classics but want to highlight some of the better literature out there in all genres. Also we are mixing in great film and music as well. Come over and take a look and if you like it, then feel free to join. I don't want to just send you an invitation without asking, seems a little rude.
