I found this cute little widget from Shelfari to display books. I am hoping it helps me with one of my goals this year which is to read more. Actually I started out with the goal of reading the "classics" whatever they were. Then I modified that goal. I think I have modified the goal more times that the number of books that I have read this year. Oh well. That's pretty normal for me.
Just finished reading The Little Guide To Your Well-Read Life by Steve Leveen. I have first heard about this book because I am a customer of his incredible store Levenger. It is THE STORE for anyone who loves to read. I used to love spending time in that store. Forget gold and diamonds, give me fountain pens and bookcases, not to mention the bomber jacket messenger bag. Now that I am back in GA I drool over his catalogs and the pictures on line. Hmmm. I really like Leveen's idea of developing your own List of Candidates instead of sticking to someone else's list. I am going to re-read his book and think about it some more but for now I decided to list some of the books that I've really loved over the years in the hope that they will inspire me today.
