I didn't read too many more books than usual, but I read some GREAT ones. I think I had 3 or 4 perfect-rated books and a couple of others that came-in just under perfect. Kinda wiped me out, to be honest!Roof Beam Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06792884580084363046noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-29202324925090656212011-10-02T19:43:44.411-04:002011-10-02T19:43:44.411-04:00Good luck with Moby Dick.

Very exciting.. but I'm not going to say what they are just yet.

The number of things to be accomplished is just overwhelming and it is hard to prioritize things like Moby Dick over, say, Back to School Night. :) Hope you have a splendid reading October.Franceshttp://www.nonsuchbook.typepad.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-23046699862932645622011-10-02T15:17:08.962-04:002011-10-02T15:17:08.962-04:00September seems to have been a bad month for every...September seems to have been a bad month for everyone including me.

I hope you're feeling better after a couple of days of rest (and reading!) and that your recovery continues. I suppose there are worse things than being told by the doctor to stay home and rest. You and Jillian have made me want to read Moby Dick, though I won't get to it any time soon. And I admire your resolve with your book buying ban! I rarely buy new books, but I adore used book sales (as does my husband, so that doesn't help!) and end up bringing home way too many books.Erinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11429588794754369453noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6543330341390707771.post-8144139606093441152011-10-02T12:35:52.080-04:002011-10-02T12:35:52.080-04:00I actually made it through an hour long browsing i...I actually made it through an hour long browsing in a Barnes and Noble the other night...without buying a thing.
