If I never left the house and had nothing to do but read, I'd never catch up. Not only am I facing all the brand new titles, but I'm admitting to the classics I have yet to read. Right now, I'm listening to Nick Hornby's Juliet, Naked and reading Abraham Verghese's novel Cutting for Stones. Meanwhile, I'm intrigued by the title The Boy Who Couldn't Sleep and Never Had To by D C Pierson, and I have Eat, Pray, Love and Wally Lamb's last big novel on audio in my back seat. I also want to read the young adult book Countdown by Deborah Wiles before giving it away to a younger reader friend who covets it.
Just arranging and rearranging my bookshelves is a constant reminder of the futility of my task. To make matters worse, I have other interests--so many other interests, a family I love and a job to which I go happily five days a week. When's a girl to read?

Nancy,
I just realized that we used to live about an hour and a half from one another. I lived in Spruce Pine for 7.5 years until the other half's family pulled us to Va. My Mom lives in Morganton.
Have you had a chance to go to the Carolina Mountain Literary Festival in Burnsville?
got to get back to revising.
oops, ac leming posted the previous message. ;)
