Here are the books next to my bed. My to read list... it keeps getting bigger and I can't find time to read them all. Are you still reading much? I'm actually reading two books for the last couple of months. Shakespeare's Dog (weird, left it unfinished in the spare room) and A Big Life in Advertising. Paul gave me this book last summer/spring. Just trying to read it now. It's Mary Wells Lawrence's biography. She was the first woman president of an advertising agency. Do you think Paul is trying to tell me something? Anyways, I thought I better read it. hahaha.


Then Jim bought me Life of Pi which I've had on my reading list for almost a year now. Christine recommended it. Sounds interesting. "...is a magical adventure story centering on Pi Patel, the precocious son of a zookeeper. Dwellers in Pondicherry, India, the family decides to move to Canada, hitching a ride on a huge freighter. After a shipwreck, Pi is found adrift in the Pacific Ocean on a 26-foot lifeboat with a zebra, a hyena, an orangutan and a 450-pound Bengal tiger named Richard Parker, all fighting for survival." Maybe not your type of book.


Then Jim just came back with a couple books from Alene. Shantaram and The Book of Negroes both come highly recommended. It actually excites me when I look at these books but then I know once I start reading I will just want to curl up in a corner and disappear for a couple of days. So, I just pile them up next to me and I stare at them longingly... hahaha.


And these are just the books beside my bed. As you know I have another dozen or so in the guest bedroom - all waiting... for moi. What's a girl to do?
