We are bookaholics. We have huge stacks of books falling down around the house. Next to our beds are the stacks waiting to be read. we can't pass a bookstore or yardsale without buying. It's unfortunate that we both suffer from the addiction because we can't help each other. We've been known to skip dinner (thus justifying what follows), get a (free)cup of coffee and spend the evening in Half-Priced Books. Our tastes are totally opposite; Dan loves philosophy and history, the big pictures of the world , and I like details, stories of ordinary people. Ammo has inherited the illness; he reads several at once and can go into raptures at the smell of a new book. Someone gave Dan the 7 Laws--I'll get it out-we thought it was some strange relative to the Celestine Prophecy, which I thought one of the worst written books I've ever read. I think I started Beloved but faded out...but I did enjoy Waiting to Exhale and a WONDERFUL book (title and author both escape me) about Mama's Pots in the Kitchen. A fun read is Ursula Hegi's (Stones From the River) first novel--I mailed my copy to X, and of course now can't remember the name. It's an anti-novel. And try some Elinor Lipman--I just finished The Way Men Act this afternoon. Oh dear-Sorry!!-I get all excited...!
