What have you been reading?
For someone who used to devour books, I have not read much over the last year. My 'faithful' first Kindle died and last year I was bought a new one, which is so much better, but even it has contretemps at times.
ReplyDeleteSkimming through your list, The Joy of Drinking grabbed my attention, and I have read the great book, The Call of the Wild.
"The Joy" was a suggestion from another blogger. Very well written.
DeleteThanks for sharing your long and varied list. I will definitely use it as reference for my future readings.
ReplyDeleteThere are a few good books on there, I tried to note the ones that are not worth reading.
DeleteWow! Just reading your list gave me a headache :) These days I read for pure escapism. I'm not interested in enriching my mind anymore.
ReplyDeleteYou might enjoy Dirty Letters.
DeleteOh, your list puts me to shame! I've only read two of them -- the Hitchhiker's Guide and the Call of the Wild.
ReplyDeleteReading is someplace between a habit and an addiction.
DeleteDid you enjoy Hitchhiker's Guide?
