How did you do?
About Me

- This blog used to be called "Old Dog, New Trick", but it doesn't seem to fit, somehow. Oh, I'm still old, but I learned this new trick (blogging) years ago, so it's an old trick, now. Anyway, I love to read, watch movies, blog, travel whenever possible and gamble (slots). I tend to think everyone is entitled to my opionion, so you'll read a lot of that here. Feel free to disagree, nicely.

Gosh, I count 46 that I've read - holy smokes!
Just finished Time Traveler's Wife.
Reread Count of Monte Cristo recently. Bloody good!
Angela's Ashes is grim reading but worth the effort.
I think you'd like The Alchemist - its a short one. Really liked The Red Tent too.
I may reread some on this list.
You've read more from this list than I have and I consider myself an avid reader! Seeing lists like this reminds me of the wonderful diversity of literature available to us all. Everyone should be able to find something they feel right at home with in that list.
I'm a virtual illiterate with only 18 of these tomes under my belt. You almost got me on the tag thingy, but thank the Gummi Mary I had my fingers crossed when I clicked on your blog.
I have read 19 of these here listed books. The one I wanted to read is The 5 People You Meet In Heaven. But I was left this comment after having said had any1 read it because I believe it is such a life changing book by all accounts.
"cazzie!!!: I read it, and it did not have that effect for me. It left me slightly depressed which is not how I want to be after readin what's meant to be a life-changing book! :-)"
So there you have it, it is up to me to decide what I want to do I guess,
I have read, and always purchase, all of the Bryce Courtenay Books.
My favourite book is, "The Power of Now", Eckhardt Tolle. Very positive book.
I've read 43 of them and many more on my to read list. And then a few I didn't recognize which is bad bacause now I HAVE to look them up and probably add a few to my already WAY to long list of books to read before I die. This of course also means I can't die till I'm around 1,000.

Well, Betty these are the ones this Betty has read...I think..on a few I was not really positive. It is not very many of them.
Other Betty
I counted 36 that I've read, and I lost count of the ones I want to read. Some of them, I hadn't read that particular book, but I've read many from the same author. Guess that doesn't count, huh?
I've read 48. There are a few which I think I've read, but I'm not sure so I didn't count them.
Now I need to go find out about the rest...although I don't think I'll be tackling War and Peace anytime soon.
if you have not read angelia's askes you should great book.
