I've thought about reading this sometimes, Alice, is it worth the time?

I enjoyed it.

Try reading the 1ST chapter & see if it grabs you.

Nice to see what people read - gives you a bit more insight into what they are like!

 

Me?

 

I have several 6' bookshelves full of books, and I live alone, so I guess you could say I'm a bit bookish. I read a little bit of everything, from biographies to social research to classics to non-fiction to sci-fi to who knows what... and Jess Walter and Sherman Alexie are two of my favorite local authors.

 

Some selected titles, randomly out of the 60 I have listed on my Facebook profile:

 

Moby-Duck: The True Story of 28,800 Bath Toys Lost at Sea and of the Beachcombers, Oceanographers, Environmentalists, and Fools, Including the Author, Who Went in Search of Them - Donovan Hohn

Open - Andre Agassi

Sock - Penn Jillette

The Story of Edgar Sawtelle - David Wroblewski

The Road - Cormac McCarthy

Pure Drivel - Steve Martin

One Train Later - Andy Summers

 

I haven't had a lot of time lately to read, but I always have a book in my briefcase for spare moments.

 

I've just finished Agassi's Open and now I plan to read again Italo Svevo's Zeno's consciousness

Unfortunately I am very fast when it comes to buy books, but I seldom have time to read them right away: the result is that I loose interest in what I've at home and keep buying new stuff. Now I'm trying to buy e-books instead of paper books (no more room left at home...) but my tastes are probably peculiar and it's quite difficult for me to find what I want in electronic format

 

Moccia : literature=Mika : punctuality

 

although I agree I must admit that I've never read any of Moccia's novels

The same thing has happened to me, now I try to buy ebooks and read them right away, one at a time, instead of storing them and forgetting about it.

 

 

Neither have I, but his style is quite famous in Italy

Definitely worth reading

Yep much better than the play (which is also very good )

Good to hear. I don't imagine we would list what we've read and disliked without actively saying THIS BOOK STINKS! but you never know, y'know?
