{so many books, so little time}

Well i am nearing the end of A Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man. It is ok. Kind of. I am not a huge fan, at all, but i like to finish what i begin. I do not think i would recommend it but then again everyone has their own taste in books and i do not want to turn you away. To me, i found it confusing and kind of pointless. But my "to read" book stack is getting small, while my "read" stack is getting bigger! yay! i have also added a few to my "to read" stack.

1. Fast Food Nation- Eric Schlosser (I really like memiors and fact like books.)
2. The Jungle- Upton Sinclair (classic, i need to get through some more classics)
3. Stones into Schools- Greg Mortenson ( i read 3 Cups of Tea, very inspiring, but this is the sequel and i am so excited! i think i will reread 3 Cups of Tea and then read it)

And i still had The Unheard and The Perks of Being a Wallflower to read also.

Gah i love reading! Anyone else like to read? Do share your thoughts!

{books galore}

first off, you should know that i love to read. love love love it. it is just so relaxing and nice. tonight i just finished The Catcher in the Rye. it was good, i'm not sure where i stand on it to be exact. i'm trying to decide if i would recommend it or not. Pros: it has a somewhat interesting story line and the narrator is funny. Cons: it is slow, curses ALOT, and doesn't really have a plot.

but on that note, i guess everyone should read it because it is a so called "classic" and its fun to say that you have read a classic and be able to hold intellectual conversations about the books.

& then again, i am a nerd so i feel this way.

this past week, i also finished the book My Friend Leonard. this book was exceptionally amazing. i loved every minute of reading it. it is the sequel to A Million Little Pieces. i HIGHLY recommend it to anyone who is looking for a quick two books to read. you will not be able to put either one down. James Frey, the author, has a way of really capturing your attention.

well, on to my next book! I have a list~

1. The Perks of Being a Wallflower
2. Unheard
3. The Portrait of the Author as a Young Man

any others i should add?

& unrelated to books, i just got home from babysitting the most precious kids in the world and just realized that the older one will be in junior high next year. i feel so old. guess i will go drink tea and read, or go to bed. goodnight blogging world!
