Read, read READ! 3 months ago

A few times I’ve read 50 books in a year. My secret? I but about 400 books in advance (usually at yeard sales or flea markets, at 5/dollar) and pick them at random. The mix of fiction/nonfiction plus my favorite authors (Follett, Sheldon, Clavell, King) keeps me going. The current book I’m reading is Sophie’s Choice, and it is EXCELLENT.



Não cheguei a cinqüenta livros em 2007 4 months ago

E aprendi que quantidade não importa. Nunca lerei tudo, de qualquer forma. Melhor ler com calma e o que me interessar.



It's not 2007 anymore... 4 months ago

Hmm, I don’t think I managed this…



Last Books 4 months ago

So I’m posting this almost seven months after the fact, but:

49. Fantastic Beasts and Where to Find Them by J.K. Rowling
50. Quidditch Through the Ages by J.K. Rowling

I finished these two at a New Year’s Eve party while I waited for the scotch to kick in.
