Comments

Holy cow! And I thought that I read a lot!
2, 4 & 5 each only took me a couple hours to read. They're very small books, not even 200 pages. "The Alchemist" was excellent.
I've seen your posts in Larabesque's page, and you make me laugh! Can I "friend" you?

By the way, I'm such a book nerd, I have an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of what I've read. I started it in May 2003, and there are 174 books on it. Also, I've read half of the ones on your list! (Love Marian Keyes! Have you tried Anna Maxted?)
Sure, I'll friend you back! Wow, I wish started keeping a list of what I read like that. I've just started this. I'll have to check Anna Maxted out on amazon.

sorry! forgot i wasn't logged in

hi! i love to read too (as our shirts profess) and I was wondering if I could add you as a friend. I'd enjoy being privy to your opinions on books. :)

Re: sorry! forgot i wasn't logged in

I've added you! I love that shirt, it's one of my favorites.
Hey, neat! I keep a list, too:

what I'm reading now

And I love beagles. We seem to have several things in common.
Wow, I'm jealous that you've been keeping a list for several years, I only started doing it this year. What did you think of Dreams of My Russian Summer by Makine? I read it last year, but I'm still on the fence about it.
I didn't really like it. Not one of the better Russian writers, IMO.

any books on web or pdf-files?

Hi, nice to see your good list of books.
Did you use computer to read books as pdf-files sometimes?
Actually, I can advice you great Library of books (in Russian, and translated in Russian) as pdf-files -

If you have something interesting as a files, I would be pleased if you
would loan it for me.
