Yes, I am, especially if that’s your first book of his. Start with High Fidelity or About a Boy instead.

Lisa, I almost always have a book to help me with parenting as well. Some are not directly related to parenting, such as Social Intelligence by Daniel Goleman, but they are all helpful in trying to understand the little devils’ psyche.

Julie, I have often surprised myself with the books I find in odd corners. Some have been abandoned without a second thought!

Christine, I agree with you esp. on transportability. I take public transportation on weekdays and couldn’t manage to deal with a large book plus all the other stuff I’ve got to carry plus my big 8-month pregnant belly!

Hi Kristen, Creating kits for book clubs sounds so interesting! Have you blogged about that process before? Come leave us a link so we can learn more.

Abigail, So are you giving me permission to toss Long Way Down? heh I think it could probably be a quick weekend read. I’d never read any of his books before and others are big fans so I thought I’d try it. So far, not too into it.

frumiousb, You don’t have the chance to read more than one book at a time. One blink and you’ve already finished the one in your hand! You are THE definition of a (hyper)avid reader.

BooksPlease, Once upon a time if I heard someone was reading 5 books at a go, my eyes would bug out. Now I count myself as one of you!

Agree with the Outlander series. I took a 3 week break after reading #1 and #2. I will probably take a short break to finish a non-fiction after I’m done with #3.

Ann, I suppose it depends on how engrossed you get in the book! Some fiction leaves me thinking even when I’m not reading and others…I can’t even get into it when I am actively reading.

Hi Deb,

lol @ clearing clutter for strangers

I’ve developed a habit of leaving books and magazines next to my work area so that I can type in excerpts. Of course I usually fall behind so then I have mounds to clear. AHHH!!
