Those are on my Best Books of All Time list.<br /><br />And the Hunger Games trilogy is well worth reading, if only from the library.Sharonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05959849712399382415noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-40710992823918787222011-06-24T23:09:42.855-04:002011-06-24T23:09:42.855-04:00Oops, I think I misread your title...

If not, they are deleted and forgotten.

The difference between, say, reading the Times on the web (where one's eyes skims the headlines and one clicks on three things) and paging through the actual paper. Something happens with a real book, perseverance-wise, that doesn't with a reader. Because the book sits there and pleads with you to finish it? Because of the allure of the weight in your hands, and the stolen pleasure of a window seat?<br /><br />If you'd had hard copies of those books, which category would each one fall in?Juliahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06668252458131596362noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-91715063752216107942011-06-14T20:38:11.642-04:002011-06-14T20:38:11.642-04:00Reminds me of the pile on my nightstand.

If it was a dilemma, as in 'on the horns of' I could have said it was a horny problem. <br /><br />Not helpful, I know. But at least I'm amusing myself.<br /><br />I'm not sure I could do that to myself. Although I guess if the book was have-to-read-ish enough you would get the real one (or the rest of the fake - er, digital - one) and read it.Bibliomamahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11825424183978181238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31542820.post-35229323547719399522011-06-14T17:02:43.680-04:002011-06-14T17:02:43.680-04:00If you weren't planning on finishing them I...If you weren't planning on finishing them I'd call them abandoned, but if you might still get to them . . . hmmm. <br /><br />I loved Bossypants.Jenn @ Juggling Lifehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14455967210924573398noreply@blogger.com
