sordid confessions about sbookitybookbooks
Mar. 9th, 2006 09:27 pmPick the next three books I should read. I'm entirely stumped. At the moment, I'm slogging through Babel Tower but some blessed day I'll finish that, and then what will I do? Internet-at-large, you decide.
At the moment, all these books reside in the to-be-read-bookshelf. (I keep the to-be-reads in a small bookshelf in the bedroom, for fear they'll give the already-reads cooties) Some of them embarass me by the fact i haven't read them yet, some of them embarass me by the fact I own them at all, some of them I've made serious attempts at, got distracted and realized i'd have to reread from the beginning and so put aside, some of them i haven't cracked the cover and in two particular cases, the books are just too large to carry around. There are gifts, intentional purchases, and things I have no idea why i own.
But the goal for the immediate future is to winnow this down, move more of the books into the other room before i let myself purchase anything more. (i've been "good" and only purchasing cookbooks off half.com lately.)
And here they are, ( divided into three categories. )
