I love books.

It's true. But not only do I love to read them, I love to buy them too! There's nothing like a new, crisp book, with a nicely designed cover and lots of white space inside (I can't help the designer in me!).

If you've read a book (that I haven't mentioned) and absolutely loved it, please leave me a comment! I'm always looking for new book ideas!

*edited to add:
Thanks Randi for your comment and suggestions!
Most of the books that I've marked here as "read", I've loved. The most recent ones that I've read and really liked are the two books by Wally Lamb (I Know This Much is True and She's Come Undone). Also, "Children of Men" had made quite an impression on me (I've read it a couple of years ago, way before the movie came out, which I didn't like, by the way).
