Welcome, new to the forum myself.

6/8 books most of the time, although the order in which i want to read them is always changing.

I do tend to read book reviews in magazines and newspaper supplements. Anything that takes my interest I make a note of and check it out online or go to my nearest bookstore and browse the cover and read a few pages. I also go by friends and workmates recommendations and not forgetting book forums.

Just finished 'Tuesdays with Morrie'. by Mitch Albom. It was a short book, read it in a day (could of read it in a couple of hours) Didn't enjoy it as much as 'The 5 people you meet in heaven' but it's still a good sad story with touches of humour along the way. Worth a read.
