Has anyone read So Many Books, So Little Time: A Year of Passionate Reading by Sara Nelson? I looked it up on Amazon and it's got good reviews, and it looks like the author could be part of our club!

I read it! It's brilliant! I was laughing all the time. Sara Nelson could be a member of the club. She really understands us , I would say. There are also good recommendations in it.

This book is sitting on my bookshelf, waiting to be read.. hehe, which is apt as the lady set herself so many goals and found it so hard to stick to them, which we all can empathise with i'll bet! But i love the sound of her library/reading room that her husband made for her .... mmmm......... (drooling over the room not the husband! hehe - just to clairify!)

;D
I know, I'd love to have a reading room! Doesn't have to be big, just some place with floor to ceiling bookshelves, a nice window (for the natural light) and a comfy couch.

Me too! I use to read in my room sitting near the window. I would love to have a reading room! Not a big room, quite small but full of books and with a large window!

I want that book! It´s 10,38 euros so not too expensive but I´ll have to wait a couple of weeks before I can buy another new book. Too bad my birthday and Christmas aren´t for awhile

It's only available in English I think. There wasn't a German copy either. But I had no problem to understand it. I read about 1/3 of the books I read in English or French, so you'll get used to it, Lu.

I can read nothing in french because I don't understand a word of it! Anyway I've always wanted to get used to read in english. I've read 2 books in english thanks to my english teacher who ordered them, books in original language are not very easy to find here, but I'm looking for!
