Wait - does this mean that you're not telling US the name until the peanut is born either? If so, I'm not playing. :huffy If not, here are my suggestions - Really Trendy, Celebrity Baby Names (e.g., Moses, Pilot Inspektor) Girlish-Sounding Names Ensuring Playground Beatdowns (e.g., Dale, Terry) Ethn...

I just wrote in my book!

BUT, I had a good reason. It's my RL book club book and I made a note in the margin so I can refer back to the page during the discussion.

See? There ARE good reasons for defacing literature

What you need is a reading journal. :nod Get thee to Borders! Nah, I know myself - I would never keep up with it. I'd write a sentence or two (maybe!) about a book that I read and then never pick up the journal again. Plus, even if I did have a journal, that would mean I'd have to carry TWO books a...

So you don't communicate with them? Bad mommy!

Book defacer! Eeeeeeeeeeeeevil! :angrywife I actually see it as the highest form of biblio-worship . . . I'm communicating with the words on the page. Why do you mark up a novel if you don't read it again anyway? :shrug And what do you write in fiction: "That was funny"... "I like th...

Because I mostly read non-fiction, I keep the books - I never know when I'll want to refer to them to cite some sort of statistic or fact. It's the novels that clutter my space - I generally don't reread them so when I'm finished I'm like, "hat do I do with this now?!?!" Because I tend to ...

I'm reading Maps for Lost Lovers by Nadeem Aslam. It's for this new book club I joined. It's starting out slow . . . kind of reminds me of how I felt when I started The Kite Runner.

What books have you read that you couldn't put down? ~Kite Runner by Khaled Hosseini ~The Turkish Lover by Esmeralda Santiago (it's a memoir, not smut!)

I'm usually reading 2-3 books at a time. I try to read my library books first. I usually have one at work and two at home, one of which is usually non-fiction. Right now it is "Work as a Spiritual Practice"

How is that? It sounds like it might help me as well!

I tend to agonize over my choice of what to read because I hate, hate, hate to start something and not finish it. I tend to see what kind of "mood" I'm in - I ask myself: Do I need to be swept away from reality? Do I want to learn more about a social topic? Do I need validation about some ...

Interesting article from the Washington Post. I identify completely.

OMG, just thought of another. if one has poison ivy, and applies his/herfingernails to the area of discomfort in a rapid motion in order to alleviate the unpleasantness, this action is called "scratching." it is NOT CALLED "ITCHING." i hate it when people are like "oh, you ...
