    Looking at the list, I realise that 2006 reading selection has proved somewhat mediocre for me. There were few books I really liked and even fewer books that I really did not like; reading books which did not move me much sounds like a waste of time... but then again, we don't know how we will feel about them until we have read them, right?

    *sighs*

    But... a new year, new books!

    Of the books I actually read, I think I enjoyed them all. So I will abstain.

    Nullus liber est tam malus ut non aliquam parte prosit.
    At thunder and tempest, At the world's coldheartedness,
    During times of heavy loss And when you're sad
    The greatest art on earth Is to seem uncomplicatedly gay.

    To get things clear, they have to firstly be very unclear. But if you get them too quickly, you probably got them wrong.

    Well, BUDDY, you know what Voltaire once said: I may disagree with what you have to say, but I shall defend, to the death, your right to say it...

    Tess of the D'Urbervilles

    This was painful reading and I now have vowed never to touch a Hardy novel ever again!!

    So tell me what do you think of Lady of the Lake?
    I found a Great Online Bookstore that gives you a FREE download of The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn and great discount prices too! You just have to sign up as a preferred customer, and there's no yearly fee!

    It can be found at: mybookwise.com/james
