there are two motives for reading a book: one, that you enjoy it; the other, that you can boast about it." --Bertrand Russell
It all started with a $50 gift certificate to Amazon.com from my sister-in-law, Young-Mee. (really, it all started with my mother and her mother before that... the bibliophiles in my family tree) The day after Christmas I am lustily totalling up my purchase on amazon -- finally settling on these titles.
Of course, this meant I needed to get cracking at the stack of books next to my reading chair by the fire place. I managed to complete four of the titles that have been listed in this sidebar for quite some time. Next post I'll tell you what I thought of 'em...aren't you excited?!?
