    Oops. Didn't mean to sidetrack the thread from Where the God of Love Hangs Out by Amy Bloom which I just saw posted.

      I'm too cheap to buy ALL the books I want to read (ok, frugal is a nicer word). I just reserved a copy at my library, they bring it in for a 50 cent fee. Can't beat that!
      Oh yea! libraries! Forgot about them. Love books though K9 so for me it's any excuse to fill my shelves I have an image of myself in my own library one day, full off books, all under a section entitled: Must get round to reading these!

            I too surround myself with books, my shelves are FULL...guess I need to buy more shelves, huh?

            My book should be at the library within the next couple of days, so we will probably all be starting it around the same time!

                I ordered mine today but as I dont live in an English speaking country it will take 10 days to get here, are we making this a monthy book? i.e. if this is for July we have until the end of the month before we review it....?

                    Ok, that sounds like a good idea. I am going to do all I can to stop my impetuous nature from devouring the contents of these pages all at once. It will be a good exercise in delaying gratification. Perhaps I will make it my bedtime read.

                    If I am unable to put it down, c'est la vie, mes amis !

                      Just do the best you can Johnny, no guarantees from me either. When I get going on a book, watch out! I recently just started one that Techie suggested and I can't put it down. It will hold me over until my July Book gets delivered to the Library.

                          It's a "prequel" (I guess) to the other one he suggested that I LOVED. The first one to read is The Shadow of the Wind, followed by The Angels Game, both by Carlos Ruiz Zafron. Now I hope I'm not confusing anyone on this thread. This is in answer to Johnny's question.

                              Johnny-
                              Be sure to start with The Shadow of the Wind. I just started The Angels Game last night and was all upset I had to quit reading cuz it was bed time Darn work, getting in the way YET again.

                                Already on it my friend. They are ordered and will be with me soon. I read a lot of non fiction which can be heavy going at times. I'm looking forward to some relaxing literature.

                                Thanks again.
