Currently ReadingRecently Read | Do you keep all the books you ever buy? Just the ones you love? Just collectibles? What do you do with the ones you don’t want to keep? I wish. For a long time, I did keep virtually every book I bought unless it was one I really disliked. For a long period of [...]            Tim February 22nd, 2010 | Tags: Book Memes, Musing Mondays | Category: Book Memes | 2 comments - (Comments are closed) |  Print This Post |  Email This PostDo you keep reference books on your shelves at home? What’s your first port of call when you need information – the internet or a book? I have a ton of reference works on my shelves that I dip into with varying frequency. Two, however, aren’t with the rest. There’s a well worn paperback [...] Tim February 15th, 2010 | Tags: Book Memes, Musing Mondays | Category: Book Memes | One comment - (Comments are closed) | Print This Post | Email This PostWho’s your favorite author that other people are NOT reading? The one you want to evangelize for, the one you would run popularity campaigns for? The author that, so far as you’re concerned, everyone should be reading–but that nobody seems to have heard of. You know, not JK Rowling, not Jane Austen, not Hemingway–everybody’s [...] Tim January 21st, 2010 | Tags: Book Memes, Booking Through Thursday, Hans Fallada | Category: Book Memes | 6 comments - (Comments are closed) | Print This Post | Email This PostDo you read the inside flaps that describe a book before or while reading it? Since I suggested the question, I suppose I have somewhat of an obligation to answer it. I probably should have been more clear but I’m referring to the flaps on the dust jackets of books. And, as a general [...] Tim January 14th, 2010 | Tags: Book Memes, Booking Through Thursday | Category: Book Memes | One comment - (Comments are closed) | Print This Post | Email This PostFor the regular library patrons among us: do you have your own idea of what constitutes proper library etiquette? Is there anything you always try to do? Anything you hate when others do? Because I use the reserve list a lot, one of my minor irritations is those who keep books others are waiting [...] Tim December 7th, 2009 | Tags: Book Memes, Musing Mondays | Category: Book Memes | 3 comments - (Comments are closed) | Print This Post | Email This PostHow does your reading (or your blogging) fare in the holiday months? Do you read more or less? Do you have to actively make time to read? I generally get quite a bit of reading done over the holidays. During the Thanksgiving break, I finished a book I started earlier in the week, read [...] Tim November 30th, 2009 | Tags: Book Memes, Musing Mondays | Category: Book Memes | Comments are closed | Print This Post | Email This PostDoes your house have a communal bookshelf? If not, is your bookshelf centrally located so everyone has access to it? Our house is a divided country when it comes to bookshelves. Actually, it’s more akin to bordering states than a civil war but we aren’t into communal shelving. I have bookshelves in my office.

Sorry, but I can’t resist making this like asking the genie from the bottle for more wishes with your one wish. So, I’d say to Kurt Vonnegut, “Why don’t we chat [...] Tim October 22nd, 2009 | Tags: Book Memes, Booking Through Thursday | Category: Book Memes | One comment - (Comments are closed) | Print This Post | Email This PostDo you listen to music while reading? Does this change if you’re reading in or out of your house? Do you have a preference of music for such occasions? I occasionally do but probably less than 25 percent of the time. Whether I do so out of the house depends on the setting.

I figured since it’s my birthday I can do what I want, right? So, here’s the deal, the meme requires answering the following questions using only the titles of books you’ve read this year without repeating any of the [...] Tim September 14th, 2009 | Tags: Book Memes, Books | Category: Book Memes | 2 comments - (Comments are closed) | Print This Post | Email This Post |         The views expressed here are mine and mine alone.
