The Year of Living Bibically by A.J. Jacobs
It was funny and interesting. Not one of my favorites, but still a good read. I owe 3$ because of it.

Ive got 32 out at the moment, sadly not a single one was any goodIm just having a bad book couple of weeks...
oh wait no I lie the 2 hendee people vampire/elf series is good...I read all of that over the last few weeks, just waiting for the next one to come out, then I also reade Kelley Armstrong's No Humans involved and exit strtegy...which annoyed me because it was really good and then shes not writing the second one till next sept
OH Jullliet Marilliers's Wildwood Dancing finally manged to sit down and read that, good too.
SO maybe not so much that all the other thiings Ive got out are bad its just Im in a scifi/fantasy mood and Ive read almost everything we stock..

Daisy Miller and other stories by Henry James. I actually have my own copy but it's back there at my mother's house which is some 11,000 km away!
Ususally if I borrow from the library, it's to listen to books on cd while I'm driving. Right now, I'm listening to 1776 by David McCollough. It's extremely interesting. I'm learning tons about the Revolutionary War that I never knew before and it gives me a new perspective on it.

Today I went to the library and got Disgrace by J.M. Coetzee.
im sad to say that i dont really check out the library for its full potential-- i jknow what genre i like and go straight there without checking anything else. last book i got was "i'd tell you i love you, but then i'd have to kill you". it was cute... next time i go, ill probably get a whole stack of vampire books. i feel deprived of vampires.
