I do 1 of two things: Divided them up into catagories and decide what I am in the mood to read or have my niece do pick one out for me

Well I think it is good to get distracted from reading lists. Ohterwise you miss out on so many other books.

He said he is not going to post anything here anyway.

it really helped me branch out. I was really dedicated to reading all the books they list but I got sidetracked but I am going to start again.

YOur Welcome. Although I worried that you and I will scare people off.

Has anyone else read this book. I really liked it. It divided the books into catagories as I slowly go through it I have discovered a number of new authors that I have become addicted to.

I want to welcome everyone to the group. Feel free to make posts on any book
