Wow, there are some really good books on that list! I'm like you, I usually have several books that I read at once. But it takes me longer to read them because I don't spend as much time reading as you do. Today I started, "Standing for Something" by Pres. Hinckley. I'm still reading Angela's Ashes, and the John Muir Book. Somewhere I have "The Shack", but haven't been able to find where I laid it down.
That's more books then I've read in the last five years. I just don't read like I used to.
Really about the only times I read is 1)While I'm eating lunch, 2)While I'm brushing my teeth (since I do this twice a day and it takes me like 7 minutes, 3)maybe before I go to bed. I usually sit at lunch and read even after I finish eating. Maybe an hour. Then if my day is REALLY boring, I might read sometime again.
I keep track of the books I read on goodreads.com. Since I hadn't updated it, I missed two books. So and to this list: The Kite Runner, and The Thirteenth Tale.

Those are some really good books, and I agree, you need to get a library card. :0)I'm a reader, too.
I thought you got one a long time ago - yeah you need to get one (or you could go check out a used book store, think of all the cool old irish books you could find!)
To get a library card I have to have a picture ID, which I do - my Irish Registration card, and a Utility bill, which I don't, because Intel pays all our bills. We're trying to figure out what I could use. I'm not sure I can get one. Hopefully we'll figure something out.
