    So many good books mentioned in this thread! :D

    I just started The Diving Bell and the Butterfly by Jean-Domique Bauby after finishing the 1Q84 series by Haruki Murakami.

    Definitely my thread. I have two four foot bookcases in my closet, one of unread books, one "read and I'm not getting rid of" books. I have a series of books I read as a kid, my parents used to buy me one or two for my good report cards. Never getting rid of those. I now am a huge fan of my Kindle. :heart: I'm at the age of reading glasses and they give me a headache so my reading suffered the past few years. The Kindle with the adjustable font and backlight makes it easier to read. If my house ever went up in flames, it'd be one of the things I grab as I flee. I do a book challenge on Goodreads and I beat the number I set for this year a month or two ago. Last year I didn't make the same number.

    Doing a lot of mystery/action/romance combos lately. One series I recently and sadly finished was about a family called Bombay who have been assassins throughout history. Quick reads, funny, romance, danger. Found the first one on one of Amazon's emails about free books. Leslie Langtry is the author if anyone is interested. I also take advantage of my Amazon Prime membership and am reading a free book each month, currently enjoying a mystery series.

    If the idiots at work would hurry up with this meeting I'm teleconferencing, I could go finish my book.

    Recently finished Gone Girl by Gillian Flynn and still deciding what to start next. I don't have a ton of time to read so I get a little annoyed when I waste my time on a book that is just so-so.

    "The MacGregors: Alan & Grant" by Nora Roberts, for the trillionth (maybe a tiny exaggeration) time :smile: I'm into cheesy romance novels!
    Sounds like some good books. Who has a book collection? Not 2 books but a book stand or shelve full of books?

    I have two bookcases, each has 3 shelves which hold double rows of books, plus the one has a huge chest at the bottom which is stuffed with about 200 books :laugh: I think I might be a book-hoarder.

    Oh, I like Nora Roberts a lot. Did you read her Inn Boonsboro series?

    Class: A guide Through the American Status System by Paul Fussell

    Pretty hilarious observation of traits and behaviors of different social classes in USA

    I love that book, which I read many years ago. Do you have the tiny paperback edition with the black cover?

    Trying to stay firmly in Class X.

    Another Fussell book I loved was "The Great War and Modern Memory."
