I think that's what I was looking for as a possible validation to what I've read. Maybe that's what I need to look at or what is missing in my reading life. Excellent ideas, everyone.

Over the last several days I actuall finished "Prince Caspian" "ShopGirl" and "THe FIve People YOu Meet in Heaven" - granted they're short books but after taking 6 months to read the DIsney Bio, well...

One last thought - I hope those who no longer need thier books either pass them along to others or donate them to the Salvation Army or like causes. This not only helps the cause, but that's how I buy my books.
