For the Love of Reading

I like to read. Strike that. I LOVE to read. Recently I read five books at once. (Trust me, it's possible.) I have a large library; it's actually a lending library and books come and go. I enjoy lending my books to other avid readers, and I love recommending good books I've read. Here are some of the books I've recently read and recommend.

*The Grand Sophy by Georgette Heyer
*Half Broke Horses by Jeannette Walls
*The Glass Castle by Jeannette Walls (pardon the "French")
*The Omnivore's Dilemma by Michael Pollan
*NurtureShock by Po Bronson and Ashley
*Better by Atul Gawande
*Complications by Atul Gawande
*The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barbery
*Look Me in the Eye by John Elder Robison (PAPERBACK version)
*Hiding in the Spotlight by Greg Dawson
*Betsy-Tacy Books by Maud Hart Lovelace
*Villette by Charlotte Bronte
*Take Good Care of the Garden and Dogs AND If You Lived Here I'd Know Your Name by Heather Lende
