Six:Books


A snapshot from my book shelves.  I love books, all kinds of books.  Sometimes I go through phases where all I read is non-fiction, especially during the school year, when I have limited time to read.
Summer is my time to read fiction; this summer I was on a mission to read all of the Chuck Palahniuk books that I had not already read, not a decision I regret.  
I also read The Road by Cormac McCarthy, I highly recommend this book, so thought provoking.  I definitely plan to read more of his books.
On another note, I really really dislike seeing movies of books that I have read. I like the characters to live in my mind, the way I envision them.   The ONLY movie I have ever liked better than the book was Everything is Illuminated by Jonathan Safran Foer.  Speaking of Jonathan Safran Foer, Tree of Codes is one of my all time favorite books.  It's not just a story created from another book, it is a poetic work of art - check it out!
