Due to the fact that I have no job and spend my days pretty much alone, it’s been perfect conditions to float around the pool all afternoon and read good books. I’m at a place where I should NOT be buying anything, let alone books, but the good news is my parent’s house is stocked [...]

One of my favorite things to do as a kid was hunt around garage sales and thrift shops with my mom. It was always an exciting feeling finding hidden travels in the depths of knick-knacks and “why would anyone buy those” objects. I can still vividly see the sombrero I bought for a dollar (it [...] A few years back, my life was forever changed by Harry Potter.

I have mountains upon mountains of books I own (exaggeration, more like 10) that [...] While riding the bus home on Monday, I was deeply involved in the book I was reading. Getting so immersed into a book is the best. That way, time moves right on by. Otherwise, I look out the window and mentally beg and plead to get home faster. After awhile I took a peek up to see where [...] Remember back in January when I found all those books on my stoop? Well I am now just starting to get to read these guys. My first pick is “A Thousand Little Pieces”, one of books that James Frey presented as a memoir, but was later discovered to be fabricated. Thus far, it is fantastic and a great read. [...] |
