These books are truly turning out to be great reads. When I get done with all of them, I’ll shoot you an email to let you know which were my top pics. Maybe that will help whittle them down a bit, yes?

Great to see you again! Enjoy your week.

Wow, that is awesome, Nadia. To be considered to have a similar mind to you makes me feel warm fuzzies all over.
You just made my day.
Happy Friday, Nadia.

Half of those books are on my bookshelf too! What was interesting in your list is that all of those books are just you in some way. I was not surprised at your picks and since I have many of those same books, I cannot help buy say: great minds think alike!

Jill,
Thanks for adding you comments here, Jill!
I appreciate you sharing with me the volume of books you read at once. After I posted my list, I felt a twinge that maybe it was too weird for me to reading so many books at once (and telling people about it). I realized that maybe that was a goofy thing to do!

So, thanks for making me feel better that I’m not so weird after all. I mean, geez, you do it, too Awesome!
And I’m not sure if brave is the word I’d use to list my books. Again, maybe I’m a goofball??
Have a great weekend, Jill, and I hope to see your book list someday.

Lisis,
I do that, too (look through books sitting around at peoples’ homes) – sooo interesting!
Yeah, I usually go through a short depression every time I give away or donate a book. I feel like I’m giving a member of my family away (ha)! But, I always feel good for doing it, and I live in a very small space so I simply don’t have the room.
Good for you, Lisis, and have fun decluttering!

Tim,
I’m not sure at what point I started reading multiple books at once, but I like choosing from the cornucopia of options depending on my reading mood. You should try it!

RE: Vampire – I finally decided it was time. I am frankly surprised how much I enjoy the interview-style writing Anne employs. I can finally experience why so many people love this book.

On Being Ill is only 28 pages, but I have a version with a 32-page forward, which I enjoyed equally well. It is worth the short read.

Also, thanks for your support, Tim. I appreciate it! I’ve been enjoying your blog; thanks for putting your writing out into the world!

I really liked this little peak into your reading habits. I am impressed with how well-rounded this list is and that you’re reading so many books at the same time. Reminds me of a college buddy who spent the two years after graduation reading every philosophy book he could get his hands on.

Good to see Interview with the Vampire here. With all of the vampire mania going on and having just read the first couple Stephanie Meyer books – I realize just how good Interview with the Vampire is.

I’m very intrigued by Virginia Woolf’s On Being Ill…I will have to look into that one.

Yep, it looks like there’s a book in you and that you are gravitating toward this. I look forward to reading more of your posts on your journey!

I LOVED The Twelve and Man’s Search (but, of course, you know that!) and I’m also working on Interview With the Vampire. I saw the movie (of course… Brad & Tom), but never read the book.

Also, I want to thank you for writing the bit at the beginning. Now that we’re moving I will, once again, have to get rid of a LOT of books (where do they come from, since I move every two years?) and was feeling a bit sad about this round of donations to the library. Now I don’t. Now I feel efficient and decluttered about it.
