Just finished James Patterson's "Sam's Letters to Jennifer" which wasn't bad but nowhere near as good as "Suzanne's Diary for Nicholas".

I do the same all the time. Unfortunately, now I only have time for one book, otherwise... On my coffee table, waiting already, I have The Catcher in the Rye by J.D. Salinger (English), The Essential Hemingway (English) and a book with several novels of D.H. Lawrence (Russian). I read D.H. Lawrence many times, in English and Romanian, and Russian. I love The Rainbow, but I want to re-read it again.Quote:

Just finished "A Brother's Journey, surviving a Childhood of Abuse" by Richard Pelzer. He is the younger brother of David Pelzer, " A Child called It", the worst abuse case in CA. history. VERY VERY sad.
Now I have several PScs, PScs2 and Painter books to get too.

In thinking about it more (on the multibook reading subject), it's not that I can't remember story lines and what's going on with each book and its characters, it's more that I actually get emotionally invested in the book I'm reading and I can't seem to change gears in that way very easily. I have read multiple books at once, mostly in college, but I never seemed to get "into" them to the degree I would if reading them singly. It's an interesting subject, one I hadn't thought a lot about before.
I suppose also I tend to be a systematic type, finishing one thing before I start another. I'm the same way with tasks.
awesome :D even though I am on the 3rd story :oQuote:

I never heard of that book, but I read all of the David Pelzer books. They are really emotional. I'll have to look for the Richard Pelzer bookQuote:

I haven't started it yet but hopefully soon. It's called Chatter. It's about global espianage and how the government listens in on our phone calls and taps into emails.
Robert Jordan's New Spring , the latest in the never-ending Wheel of Time saga. The Wheel of Time is infinite, and so is this series!;) :p
I have the latest book in the Wheel of Time series but I haven't read it yet. I keep feeling like I have to reread the series every couple of years because it is so detailed I forget some of it from year to year. I am also getting older and am wishing I hadn't collected the whole series in hardback. It is getting harder to hold up those heavy books while reading. *L* I wish he would end it already!
I love to read and probably spend about 50 - 75 a month on paperbacks. I love almost every kind of book except for those bodice ripper romance books. :p
