Have a few kids and a job and then tell me how many books you read every year!

FYI, I’m currently enjoying Paganini’s Ghost by Paul Adam. (Chances are I’ll still be enjoying it in a month, too!)

Love the new format.

I’ve been meaning to get back and re-read some Ayn Rand. It’s been over 10 years since I read Atlas Shrugged and The Fountainhead, and it seems like they’d be particularly relevant. Thanks for the suggestion.

I guess what I really meant was, my To-Read shelf has emptied, and I didn’t have specific plans for the replenishment of it, especially since I’m trying to change up my genre reading habits. I could always wander around the sci-fi section of Borders, but there are so many other books out there. Having an empty To-Read shelf scares me, so I asked for help.

I did brave my way through James Joyce. It was good for me…

You know, I read this, and for some reason another book popped into my head – maybe it was the part about trying to stay out of your ordinary reading “groove”.

You should try “The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society” – it’s not really my usual genre, but it is an AWESOME book. I really enjoyed it…didn’t want it to end, which is a pretty high compliment in my book. (Ugh…pun not intended, but I’ll leave it there anyway.)

Hey, don’t forget Atlas Shrugged by Ayn Rand. Of course, it’s pretty scary reading right now!

I’m with Katherine. I don’t think I’ll ever get through my “To Read” list. That doesn’t mean I always know what I’m in the mood to read, though! Expanding to multiple genres definitely helps keep that list going. I have copies of all the books I recommended, as well as Cry the Beloved Country, Fablehaven, Three Cups of Tea, and To Kill a Mockingbird.

Running out of things to read?? I can’t even imagine what that would feel like, ever. Also, I’m afraid to recommend books to you because of your better-left-undescribed James Joyce experience.

Esperanza Rising is YA but not Science Fiction or Fantasy. It’s a very good book but I don’t own it. However, I do own Pilgrim at Tinker Creek and Call It Sleep if you would like to borrow them. I also recommend “The Devil and Miss Prym” and “The Fifth Mountain” by Paulo Coelho but I thought we were only supposed to recommend one book. I also have a lending copy of “Jennifer Government” but I don’t know how you feel about female protagonists.
