One of those "Have you read" book memes

Have read
Intend to read
Won't read
might consider reading if somebody gave it to me
started but never finished
*finished but hated

You ought to finish Catch 22. It's hilarious, although probably frighteningly close to the truth.

I should give it another try - it was a very long time ago I attempted it. Everyone raves about it, but it really wasn't working for me; I very rarely put down a book unfinished.

Buy the Everyman hardback - so lovely you won't want to be without it. Hmm, creamy paper...

Hey, I'm on a serious (and needful) "divesting myself of things" kick here - don't go throwing temptation my way!

Sometimes books are the very thing to take travelling. I took the Everman of The Great Gatsby on a train ride across the U.S, once, and it matched the journey wonderfully...

Which reminds me, please mail me your parents' address. Among other things, I'll send you Zafon and Tartt's books [recommend the former - 'tis delightful]. And since I'll send them there, you needn't even worry about the luggage space. :)
