That's really a lot of books!!!! I am quite jealous because I can only listen to audiobooks for the moment (because of finals coming up)... How do you find the time of reading so many books? I don't really borrow books from library. I prefer owning the books I read The maximum you can have is 12 and you get them for three weeks. So sometimes I end up renewing some for another three weeks. I dont know I just get on a roll. and I prefer staying in in the evening reading to going out. So far this month I've read 6. Anyway at the moment I have 4 out. 3 I have read. The other one, The Beautiful and Damned by Fitzgerald I started but cant get into so I dont know if I will return it or stick with it. I did enjoy the Great Gatsby. Im waiting on two David Eggers; You Shall Know Our Velocity and How We Are Hungry, and two Augusten Burroughs; Dry and You Better Not Cry. I love Augusten Burroughs. I have been waiting for The Fault in Our Stars by John Green for ages, it's still on order and there are a couple people before be. Thats the only annoying thing about libraries generally when you reserve a book online you get in within 2-4 days, unless a whole bunch of other people reserve it, you dont know what number in line you are or how long they will be with it so you never know when youll get it, this is generally with the new releases.

What I hate is when they are multiple holds on a book and people are late returning them, its a little selfish. Im waiting for Looking for alaska, there are 4 people in front of me. 1 copy was due back on 14th and 1 on 17th and neither have bee returned yet.

Most libraries are closing for 2 or 3 weeks in August, so I've made to 2 library-trips and picked up a few books, just in case - The fault in our stars by John Green
- Wives and daughters by Elizabeth Gaskell
- Hateship, Friendship, Courtship, Loveship, Marriage by Alice Munro
- La prosivendola (original title is La petite marchande de prose) by Daniel Pennac
- Una via di fuga by Piergiorgio Odifreddi (it's part of a trilogy on the history of geometry and it sounds really interesting!)

Weirdly enough I've watched John Green's youtube vids, but never read his books. This is embarrassing!
