I have one. I don't know if it is an optical trick of light, or a ghost, but here goes. My brother-in-law was over one evening and we were watching football and all of a sudden, he asked me, "How long have you had a ghost?" The television and a lamp are on a wall with a doorway in it and...

That's a really difficult question to answer. I've been reading since I was three, so its kind of hard to remember specifics from way back then. I remember reading my oldest sister's books at around the age of four, and she's 8 years older than me. So the first novel I read was probably a...

Does she know the vast amounts of knowledge throughout history that has been irretrievably lost due to that kind of mindset?

I would have to agree, abc. I know that if I were an author and a reader came up to me and said that my book stayed with them long after they read it, I would feel incredibly complimented (and successful).

I just started this book yesterday and I must say I am enchanted. The style is unconventional, but I can see how using the traditional styles of storytelling would make this novel ...well...flat. Alex's contributions are hilarious and while a little confusing, are an integral part of the...

I get like that, too, if it has been a book that has pulled me deeply. Some books end well, like Kook said, but sometimes I find myself wondering what else happened. And it doesn't have to be a lengthy book, either. Some short novels or novellas are extremely captivating .

I must disagree. Words are not enough. There is so much more to communication than just words. I can communicate with no words at all (a certain look in church makes my rowdy children sit still), and I can take the exact same words, and by using different tone of voice, inflection and/or body...

READ IT!!!! I am Legend is definitely not your average vampire book. I've never seen the Omega Man, so I cannot compare, but I loved it.

The Fog (original)

Hey, I try to FLY too. She's why I started to wear shoes in the house.

double post, sorry...

Hey SGF, I sure did. My TBR list has grown to nearly 600!!! Gotta pm mehastings now...

I know, I just didn't add "but I was thinking it!" :rolleyes:

I recieved the Book Lust yesterday. mehastings, I'll pm you when I'm ready for your snail mail. And put me in line for the next bookring, too.

Small books in the center and increasing in height toward the sides. Helps eliminate the sag. How's that for organized? :p Actually, I have the heaviest books on the bottom shelf because that one is supported by a small cabinet, but other than that I'm lucky I have a bookcase!

Egad, "teh" drives me nuts!!! (in my own typing, that is). I am far from a proficient typist, I have to look at the keyboard most of the time, and I type with six fingers (not quite the two finger hunt and peck- that's hubby), but I aim for good spelling, grammar and punctuation. There are...

Yes, I do tend to forget why a title is on there, but I trust myself, and know I put it on there for a reason. I won't promise to read every title, I frequently start books I don't finish, or return them completely unread, and I am always adding to my list. It is in a small 4x5 spiral notebook...

yes, ma'am. *goes into corner with TBR notebook, counts quickly* I have approximately 550 titles on my list. If I read one book a week, it would take me 11 years to read them all!!:eek: :eek: :eek: I told you I didn't want to know!

Well, I don't know too many poeple that read as much as I do. My mother-in-law does, so we talk books at least once a week during our weekly library/grocery trips, and I talk with the librarians, too. Other than that, I only have a couple of friends I see very infrequently, but when we do...

cajunmama whispers to monkeycatcher: I'm afraid to count the titles on my list, I don't think I really want to know how many there are...:eek: :D
