If you don't like it you can blame me!:giggle: You could always skip through it if parts bore you. I love reading about people. Most of my favorite books are books about people, memoirs or just books that teach me something. I do like some braindead books too though.:lol:

I'm more into French and Russian literature... most of the time... but I felt like I needed a change several months ago so I settled down with several non-literary books. I love Marc Levy, Torey Hayden and Patricia Cornwell's books. I still got some Paulo Coelho books to read too... urgh...:roll: Too many books and so little time... :D
 
I got "Still Alice" by Lisa Genova and "God Bless you, Dr. Kevorkian" by Kurt Vonnegut.
 
I never thought of going to Goodwill to buy books! I stop buying books as they cost so much money . I go the public library to get my books. I will check out the Goodwill near me !
 
I'm currently reading [ame=http://www.amazon.com/CLEO-Cat-Who-Mended-Family/dp/080653303X/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1275221998&sr=1-1]Amazon.com: CLEO: The Cat Who Mended a Family (9780806533032): Helen Brown: Books[/ame]

Excellent for cat (and non-cat) lovers :D Heart wrenching yet sweet written book... you totally feel with the author of this book!
 
Bought and read a book called "The road" by McCharty to improve my english. Great book and can recommend it, but wow, that book was dark.

The writing style was amazing. I rented the movie, "No country for old men" after reading "The Road". The movie was very good, but after watching it, I realized I should perhaps have read the book, but too late now as I know what happens in the end :)
