I have five or six books I've finished and want to talk about but I've picked up a few more instead of writing about the ones I'm done with. But I have to make some notes or the reading experience fades before I can write it up.Melwykhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04885378201188978664noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12546017.post-15664459368410339012009-09-28T12:17:13.500-04:002009-09-28T12:17:13.500-04:00See, that's one reason I have as many as 10 bo...See, that's one reason I have as many as 10 books in progress at any given time. That way I am always guaranteed to in the middle of something. I have The Angel's Game waiting patiently by my bedside.

That...I'm so bad I read several books at once. That way if I finish one I don't feel it's urgent I replace it immediately. Some books I have to mull over a bit and having something else on the go somehow helps me do this. I'm presently reading What Happened to Henry by Sharon Pywell but have a book of Munroe's best selected short stories (aren't they all?!) so that I have something to fall back on after I finish the novel. I see more clearly one book when I'm not thinking about the next one.<br />I suppose I also qualify as a "bookavore".<br />C.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-12546017.post-48787771920696382009-09-27T21:37:30.570-04:002009-09-27T21:37:30.570-04:00I know!

I totally literally could NOT put this book down -- my nose was in it on escalators (and I'm a firm believer in not walking and reading at the same) and I'd take it with me to the grocery store just in case. I'm pretty much over it now, but what a great ride!
