There aren't any books next to me at the moment. But of the ones nearest me, other than my own notebook, there is my e-reader (with which I have a hate-love relationship), where I'm currently reading Blackbird Flies.

I can understand the contrast of feelings with an e-reader that is why I do not own one.
I misread what your are reading as Blackbird Files haha
Is it any good?

:yesnod: Notice I put "hate" before "love".

Everytime I see the title, that's how I end up reading it too. :lol: I'm about halfway through, and I'm really enjoying it :D Probably because I can completely relate to the main character. He's a kid with a bipolar mother (my dad is bipolar) who loves to play the piano (my instrument is harp). The descriptions of how he gets lost in the music are totally spot on for me. :)

Wow so many books are you studying them all?
I never heard Yehuda Amichai- Open Closed Open It sounds very intriguing.

I think Lord Byron will have something to say about that!

No. My library has just grown to such an extent (over 3000 books) that I no longer have adequate shelf space and as a result there are any number of stacks around the room. Just a few inches from this stack is another numbering 37 books including a Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, the Qur'an, The Complete Works of Rabelais, a Collected Works of William Blake, and several Philip K. Dick novels. Most of these are books I have read or consulted some time recently... but never been able to place back upon the shelves.

Yehuda Amichai is perhaps the greatest living Israeli poet. Open Closed Open is one of his more recent volumes of poetry.

Wow! I only wish I had such a home library! :D I had over 300 at one point, but it drove my ultra-practical hubby crazy, so I broke down and got an e-reader. But I only got "rid" of the paperbacks. Though I have The Secret Garden on my e-reader too, I can't bear to part with my beautiful hard bound copy that my mom gave me when I was 10. This goes the same for many others I refuse to part with. :D
