    You ever...?

    I am having this exact problem right now... I started reading "Lovely Bones"- got about half way through it and was just not into it anymore... it's not the book itself, it's me. Then I started reading "Naked Lunch" and only got through the first chapter on that one. Now i'm just...

    Recently Purchased/Borrowed

    I am such a pack rat when it comes to books... I buy them just to have them on my shelves. I can't tell you how many books live on my shelves that I have never read. I can't remember what the last books I bought were because I'm always buying something... I do have on hold right now...

    I have been to a lot of concerts in my time, but my favorite - by far- was one I went to last year. RICK SPRINGFIELD I know, I know... you're all thinking "who?" He wasn't just a one hit wonder- but I could go on and on about that. He puts on an awesome show with SO much energy, it's amazing...

    Salman Rushdie: The Satanic Verses

    I bought this book before Mr Rushie was in town for a lecture- I had planned on going but got sick and couldn't go. I never got the book read, but it's on my TBR list for sure.

    Have you ever met one of your favourite authors?

    I met Pam Houston before she became my favorite author... it was meeting her and getting her second book (Waltzing the Cat) that turned me onto her. I have read everything she's written since meeting her in 1999. There is another author I met at that same conference- one I used to have a lot...
