I'm a huge lover of reading, always have been. I don't just read books, I devour them; this was especially true when I was younger. My mother would take me to the public library, and I would fill a plastic grocery bag with books. A mere three days later, it would be time for yet another trip to the library.
When I started taking some tough classes in high school and then entered university, my reading waned, and it never really picked up to its previous level. Mandatory reading for school always trumped reading for pleasure. Now that I've graduated, though, I am committed to bringing out the book lover in me once again.
Noah gifted me two wonderful books for Christmas, and I've already started in on one. Another friend also gave me a book that I can't keep my hands off.
{That's another thing, I've never been able to be faithful to one book at a time. I have four going right now.}
So, I need to know, pretty please...
What is your favorite book?

it's been a dry season for good reads...
ReplyDeletethe last good books i remember reading were:
'let the great world spin' by colin mc callum {sp?}
'this is where i leave you' by jonathan tropper
both pretty good. not earth shattering..
xo.
I'm exactly like you...I always had a book in my face when I was young, but as I grew older I read progressively less. So my new years resolution for 2011 is to read more!
ReplyDeleteMy favorite author is Jen Lancaster, but other than that I sadly don't have any books to recommend. As I blogged, I just got a Nook for Christmas so I'm anxious to see the comments on this post!
Camillas new hair do. hands down. I gather it would take you .2 seconds to read.. but it would be a great .2 seconds my friend.

ReplyDeleteHi, just stumbled upon your blog. I'm a huge reader myself. My book club read a couple really good ones this year-The Help and Cutting for Stone were my two favorites. My all time favorite book is Catcher in the Rye.
ReplyDeleteThe Glass Castle and any/all of the Adrian Mole books.
