They just all came at the same time and now I owe the library money! I recently culled my book shelf to get rid of the ones I really didn't care for or wouldn't recommend. I only managed to pull off a couple but it was enough to make room for the couple I just finished. I recently got myself off the book buying habit. Now I can use that money for something better.

He pretty much sucked after that UNTIL Cell two or three yers ago. I would heartily recommend Cell and his new one, Under the Dome, which is his best book since The Stand. Seriously. <br />I have both in hardcover, if you want to borrow them. We can swap them for my checkbook! ;)<br />TerryTerry Toweryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13840835964828394622noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6169933482075695962.post-91955951882959536142010-02-11T12:49:50.475-06:002010-02-11T12:49:50.475-06:00I prefer non-fiction and one of my favorite books ...I prefer non-fiction and one of my favorite books that I've read hundreds of times (I like to re-read books over and over) is Hell's Angels, by Hunter Thompson.

I have gotten back into reading books. For a long time I didn't feel I had time, and now I have started making the time. Anything Nicholas Sparks writes I run out and get that day. I am currently re-reading Catcher in the Rye, in memory of J.D.
