because i can buy faster than i can read.
*means i finally read it!
Please read East of Eden first! It's amazing--one of my favorite books ever
Geek Love was quite the odd book. People kept mentioning it to me, so I finally picked it up and read it at my parents' house over Christmas. I offered to leave it for them to read, but after reading the back cover, they declined. :)
YOU can buy faster than you can read!!! If I made a list of all the books I have that I've been meaning to read, it would be the longest list here! (It probably doesn't help that I always buy any "classic" title I see at book sales, and that I collect old textbooks)

geek love! geek love! geek love!
Watch out for Moby Dick, it's terrible. I never was able to get into the flow of the prose and I didn't find the story all that great. I did enjoy some of the characters, such as Ahab.
