If you keep it to re-read it, how do you find the book in order to do so? My ADD mind is doing flips lol http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/8284421744098263309/?src=hsr#121681 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 11:43:19 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/8284421744098263309/?src=hsrs#121681 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/8284421744098263309/?src=hsrs#121681 Too Many Books My husband (a non-reader) has instituted a policy called “bibliostasis,” which means that for every new book that comes in, an old book must go out, thus keeping the number of books in the house constant. I can’t say that I adhere to the policy all that well. The books come in one-by-one every couple of weeks. They tend to go out in boxes once or twice a year. I usu... http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/8284421744098263309/?src=hsr#121677 Tue, 24 Nov 2009 04:54:24 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/8284421744098263309/?src=hsrs#121677 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/8284421744098263309/?src=hsrs#121677 Heather -- Please read the Handmaid's Tale by Margaret Atwood. Wonderful book and will get you hooked on Atwood's writing. Ann, I read The Poisonwood Bible a few years ago, and it was ok, but in my opinion (and I know I'm in the minority) I don't think you need to move it up on your list. Now my confession -- I have never read Little Women. Shame shame shame. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/8284421744098263309/?src=hsr#121671 Mon, 23 Nov 2009 16:35:11 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/8284421744098263309/?src=hsrs#121671 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/8284421744098263309/?src=hsrs#121671 Free book table at the workplace -- I love that, Marie!

I have more Bookmooch points than I need and the used book store can only take so much, so when I'm desperate to get rid of something off it goes to the office. I do keep a lot of my books though- as anyone who's ever visited my house can attest! http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/2864671205035097238/?src=hsr#121639 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 19:28:40 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/2864671205035097238/?src=hsrs#121639 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/2864671205035097238/?src=hsrs#121639 Book One: The Giver Book 2: Tomorrow, When the War Began http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/831360859402488591/?src=hsr#121635 Sun, 22 Nov 2009 17:05:34 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/831360859402488591/?src=hsrs#121635 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/831360859402488591/?src=hsrs#121635 I signed up too. It looks like a fun site. I hope to add some reviews as the holiday season progresses and I start really using some of my baking books. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/8676860693274630309/?src=hsr#121603 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:29:06 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/8676860693274630309/?src=hsrs#121603 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/8676860693274630309/?src=hsrs#121603 I had no interest in 'Twilight' til now! Back in the days when I did not know a single other person who had read 'Lord of the Rings', I remember being nearly killed by laughing so hard at Lampoon's parody "Bored of the Rings". It would almost be worth enduring Twilight to experience that parodic rapture one more time! http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/8284421744098263309/?src=hsr#121602 Sat, 21 Nov 2009 17:09:08 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/8284421744098263309/?src=hsrs#121602 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/8284421744098263309/?src=hsrs#121602 Do not read The Little Prince. It is way. too. sad. If you want, I can come over and slam your hand in a drawer- same effect. Me, I work in a university library, and we have a nice "leisure reading" collection. So anything I'm done with, I donate. Some I see go into the 800s as literature, some go into the LR shelves. No clutter at home, and I know where they are if I want to re-read them. http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/8284421744098263309/?src=hsr#121578 Fri, 20 Nov 2009 17:11:38 +0000 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/8284421744098263309/?src=hsrs#121578 http://www.haloscan.com/comments/botns/8284421744098263309/?src=hsrs#121578 Hi Ann and Michael, I have bookcases' in every room and the stack of books on the nightstand to be read is almost as tall as I am. I love having books around me! There are so many books that I want to read and to speed up the process a bit, I shut off the TV last year and have almost doubled the amount of books that I get through in a week. The one thing that I tell everyone is that I know th...
