In a conference room where I work, someone put this book on the ledge of a big dry erase board and wrote "If you think your life's bad, read this" with an arrow pointing to "Atlas Shrugged".

I thought about it, but then remembered the 30 books at home to read that I have!"We're fixed good, lamp-wise."0 -
I'm currently reading book 3 of the Midnight Breed series by Lara Adrian. I was able to download the first one free on my kindle. I was skeptical about reading it but it was free..lol. Now I'm addicted to them.These cuts are leaving creases. Trace the scars to fit the pieces, to tell the story, you don't need to say a word.0

I'm reading, The Language of Baklava by Diana Abu-Jaber

The Tenth Muse - Judith Jones
Water for Elephants - Sara Gruen
The Thirteenth Tale - Diane Setterfield
I didn't like The Sharper the Knife the Less you Cry and The Maytrees
I've read 12 trade paperbacks within the past 2 months. It's funny because last week I was so depressed because I didn't have time to work out. Then I logged a book I read into my book logs, reviewed how many books I recently read, and had a V8 moment! Aha! No wonder I don't have time.There is no such thing as leftover pizza. There is now pizza and later pizza. - anonymous
The risk I took was calculated, but man, am I bad at math - The Mincing Mockingbird0 -
