I've been late in discovering them though. <BR/><BR/>Trish - I really try to only accept ARC's I think I will like (a lesson I learned the hard ?way), but you can never tell, can you?<BR/><BR/>Iliana - I am sorry to hear that. You're obviously not alone in your opinion of the book. I haven't yet read the next chapter, but I hope to do that tomorrow.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-48927577964769999142008-08-13T17:58:00.000-07:002008-08-13T17:58:00.000-07:00I hope you enjoy Corrigan's book.

I have a few casual readers in my family so anything that has to do with books I gobble up immediately and this could probably curb some of that booktalk appetite--of course maybe then I'd want to talk about the booktalk that I am reading about. *Sigh* Anyway, its going on the list--thanks for the great quotes!Trish @ Love, Laughter, Insanityhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17225576485797030511noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-2908010418170218462008-08-12T14:34:00.000-07:002008-08-12T14:34:00.000-07:00"Leave me Alone" is one of the books I've been thi..."Leave me Alone" is one of the books I've been thinking about reading for quite a while now.

In fact, I haven't been reading much of anything. I'm not sure why, there's certainly been plenty of opportunity.

I hope you do get the chance to read it!<BR/><BR/>Florinda - LOL I wish people would leave me alone while I'm reading too! I am hoping to get a lot of reading in this week. So far, so good. Let's hope I can keep it up. :-)<BR/><BR/>Terri - I don't always get as much reading done when I am out of town either, sO I can completely relate. It's good to see you back!<BR/><BR/>April - With so many TBR books, it makes sense to prioritize, doesn't it? I am glad I am not the only one with different levels of TBR stacks. <BR/><BR/>Nancy - I am glad you were able to get some reading done over the weekend. Hopefully this week will be better for you than the last one.<BR/><BR/>Lisa (BLLT) - That's what ended up happening to me too! The Olympics are very distracting. Hopefully you will enjoy Ex Libris more than Leave Me Alone.<BR/><BR/>J. Kaye - Could it be the types of books you are reading? Sometimes that makes a difference for me. The weather too though sometimes slows me down as well.Literary Felinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13079276242303738719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-42817552703736583942008-08-11T18:30:00.000-07:002008-08-11T18:30:00.000-07:00My reading has been lagging.

I'm busy making up for lost reading time for the past 3 weeks. While I was gone (actually out of state) I hoped I'd get to read, but people took priority and I was left jonesing for reading time. It didn't help that the book I had with me was loooong (Jonathan Strange/Mr. Norrell) and so any reading I did do felt like standing still! So, I'm back (kinda) and spent the weekend making up for lost reading time by reading Breaking Dawn in 2 days. Feeling a bit more calm, so maybe I can visit some blogs :o)Terri B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/12215878121282668358noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31552114.post-35056635654552681542008-08-11T10:07:00.000-07:002008-08-11T10:07:00.000-07:00I'm looking forward to your sharing your journey t...I'm looking forward to your sharing your journey through <I>Leave Me Alone, I'm Reading</I> (sometimes I really wish people would DO that, BTW); it's a little like what you did with <I>Ex Libris</I> by Anne Fadiman.
