a reasonable point =) lol! I try to give politicians the benefit of the doubt. I suppose that’s silly and naïve, but I think it’s most productive for the country. The problem with Clinton is that he lied so convincingly that I was sure he was telling the truth. I just have a hard time trusting...

I don't think there is an 11th book. Maybe you got a book in a different series from her. There is nothing special about them, though for some reason, I enjoy them. It's awful :( ! I'm a 22-year-old male reading about Stephanie Plum's sexual encounters. Excuse me, I have go to buy a power tool...

For 2005, I’m keeping track of: 1. the date I start a book 2. the date I finished 3. a paragraph or two about the book I was going to do a lot more in terms of journaling but after receiving a lot of help from these guys (read: http://forums.thebookforum.com/showthread.php?t=4393 ) I...

Stephanie Plum Mystery Novels - Janet Evanovich I read all 10 of them last year. I fear they degraded my morals and integrity. I feel embarrassed admitting this. I want more. Does anyone know of a series like it :D

Ell, Thanks – you’re a gentleman and scholar ;)

I’m looking for entertaining chess books not relating to actually playing chess. I’ve read: 1. Chess Is My Life - Victor Korchnoi 2. Bobby Fischer Goes to War: How the Soviets Lost the Most Extraordinary Chess Match of All Time – David Edmonds, John Eidinow Anyone know of any good reads...
