Book of the Month

So I know that it is now March and I have not posted a book of the Month.  This sad news is due to the fact that when January rolled around I could not pick one book, so I started 3.  My goal is to read all the books on my shelf that I have not read yet, which is quite a few.  The fact of it is I own too many books for my shelf.  Probably too many books for anyone's good, but I love it.  If you know me, you know I can not resist a book store of any kind, hence I own too many books.  It was so hard, when I heard that Borders was closing the store closest to me, to not go and spend my whole month's paycheck on books.  But I did resist and that means I can eat this month and I don't have to live off of words alone.

Now back to the whole book of the month thing.  I picked three books.  The Rape of Europa about Hitler's quest for art during World War II,  The Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy, and Dubliners by James Joyce.  So I am all over the board.  I have not finished one yet, but since starting those I also started City of Thieves.  This book is about Russians during WWII and the siege of Leningrad.  So as anyone can see I am swamped by books.  Let's hope I finish them all soon.  I just need to read more!
