I can't read more than two at a time - and even then I do them both badly. Clearly I cannot multitask reading. Bravo to you.

I added two more reviews up today - but you will have to scroll down to see them.... I await your criticisms...

what do you do?? when you get bord of one you pick up another? and toss the ones you dislike now you've gotten into them in the trash? tut tut :P

one of the first blogs i ever visited was "blog of a bookslut".

not "bord". not "dislike" either. i just keep adding to the list. certain books for certain times. certain books for certain moods.

I can sympathise. I'm currently seeing "Gilead" by Marilynne Robinson; "The Five People You Meet in Heaven" by Mitch Albom; "Invisible Man" by Ralph Ellison; "The Blind Assassin" by Margaret Atwood; "Paradise" by Abdulrazak Gurnah and "Light Years" by James Salter. Amongst others.
