Very much so, but I need to read these books I've started/had lying on my shelf for years...they are making me feel guilty!

Me too. I think I'll give it a re-read at some point because I think I'd like it more on the second read.

I read The Final Journey by Gundrun Pausewang in three days.

I'm still reading Beginner's Greek by James Collins.

Argh....STILL reading teh bio of Mrs. Simpson. It's so slow and the author is determined to paint her in the worst light possible. I'm close to putting it aside since I have a pile of much more interesting reads sitting by my bedside.

I finished "Master and Margarita" by Bulgakow. This is probably the best book that I read in a long while. Kept me hooked.

Just started Mistress of Death by Ariana Franklin. It's interesting to start but if she doesn't stop taking the time to name every single person in the crowds, I'm going to need an excel sheet to keep track of the characters!

FINALLY finished the Mrs. Simpson book and bummed that I spent so much time on it. Now trying to decide between a book on Victorian England or Revolutionary Road. Anyone?
