This<\/a>\"\" was in my Amazon recommended list. I understand why—it’s because of the books I’ve bought—but damn, if I had that kind of money to throw around or bookshelf space to fill, then yeah, I might actually consider it.<\/p>\n

As it is, I’ve got plenty of books on my TBR (To Be Read) pile. The tiny few of the most recently acquired in that very huge pile is a couple of Thomas Hardy books and a three-volume set of The Thousand and One Nights—otherwise known as Arabian Nights. They’re hard to find, but H.E. got them for me from a used book store when he heard me say I wanted to read them, and I’ve been wanting to read them all because I’m ashamed to admit that I know only one or two of the stories in that collection. After that I might try War and Peace.<\/p>\n

Or not, I don’t know. I’ll probably be too near my deathbed by the time I finish the 1001st tale.<\/p>\n

Anyway, I wanted to revisit a little book meme<\/a> … simply because I wondered how the last five books I’ve read would fare.<\/p>\n
