To-Read
I got this idea from Skye. =) Since practically none of my “in real life” friends read, I never have anyone to discuss books with. I figure by posting what I’ve read and plan to read, I might be able to spark some conversation. As of right now, my favorite author is Charles Bukowski.
Also note: The order in which the books are listed in is not necessarily the order in which I will read them. An asterisk next to a book that I have read means that I enjoyed it more than the others.

- The Tipping Point – Malcolm Gladwell
- Blink – Malcolm Gladwell

Me Talk Pretty One Day was interesting and witty but slow. Audacity of Hope is very good but slow (Dreams From My Father is better, but still slow). Kite Runner and False Memory are really good but thatd be why I recommended them.
Am I not a real life friend? lol
