Damn all the good books
Damn all the good books,
They call out my name,
I reach out to read them all,
Falling flat on my face with shame,
The timeless classics Don Quixote would say,
The newfound glories, Clancy and James Frey,
The poets like Poe
and Dickinson
Ms. Emily I feel your pain
But I haven't the time
To read every non-rhyme
and clear the shelves of Humor,
Mystery, History, Architecture
and all the good books call out
my name "Bend my sheath." "Break my spine." "Get familiar with me."
I haven't the time.
Damn all the good books!]]>27maleArvada, CO07/200707/2009319280true5784868read1true391772currently-reading11true391771to-read4false528690bookmarked3false495816classics3false543262neo-classics

Sat, 04 Aug 2007 10:29:56 -0700 Wouldn't that work for books that are 'hated'?
also, I've seen Netflix references here before, and I'll offer up another one... it'd be nice to have a 'not interested' option
so, it might look something like this...
X - Not Interested 0 - Hated It 1 - Didn't Like It 2 - It was OK 3 - Liked It 4 - Really Liked It 5 - Changed My Life
(maybe the stars could 'glow' if you've rated a book, and just be plain if you've not rated it, that way 'no stars' would still be noticable...)]]>
