Currently I'm reading: Coyote Blue by Christopher Moore
I bought it a while ago and just currently started to get into it

My third favorite by him. No. 1 is Lamb...PLEASE read that, it's hilarious. No. 2 is Island of the Sequined Love Nun.


Just finished Father and Son by Larry Brown. I have four on order from half.com, checked out two from the library, and bought one at BAMM.

I read Dirty Job and liked his writing style. I was going to buy Lamb but they didn't have a copy, and its his more famous book title. Its on my next purchase list though.

I've read about a book a month for the past two and a half years. I'm a slow reader to begin with, and don't have a whole lot of free time, so even a book a month is sometimes a struggle.

I end up buying the vast majority of the books I read, so my collection is growing ever so slowly. It is nice to see it grow. I currently have about 50 or so books.

I recently bought the books that I'll read the rest of this year. I'm excited about getting started on them. Here is that list.



Oh, and Lamb is absolutely hysterical.

I've only recently started to read more than one book at a time, its a bit awkward to begin with, but it means I get through them a lot quicker (sometimes I don't feel like reading a fun book, so if that was the type I was reading, I just wouldn't read for example).

If you have a lot of books you'd like to keep a nice record of, but don't want them displayed or taking up space, I recommend Delicious Library.

I still buy books -- far more than I read, actually -- probably a couple dozen per year. I'm also getting better about using the library; here in Chicago, it's reasonably easy to get new books as the downtown library is well stocked. I love books, and I love to read, but my supply exceeds my storage capacity, and I don't have room in my condo for another bookcase. I often fantasize about giving away my books after I've read them, but I usually don't follow through.

In the past year I've read the two Howl's Moving Castle books by Joan Aiken, The Historian by Elizabeth Kostova, The Ministry of Fear by Graham Green, and various pulp detective stories from the 40s/50s. I've also read Harry Potter 2, 5, and 6, if that makes any sense at all.

For graphic novels I've read the two Persepolis ones by Marjane Satrapi, and Action Philosophers.

I don't need to buy books because my ma and dad have so many (we have a library in our house)

18 year old guy, fyi.
