Books 2004

On to Books 2005 Part One

I've always been a bookworm. Even as a child I could go through 2 or more books in a day if I was left alone to read. Here in Japan it's a bit difficult to find enough books for my obsession, so I often have to re-read the ones I have. No matter to me, my books are like old friends. If I enjoyed it the first time, I may enjoy it more the second time! Or the third time....

Books are expensive here so I always appreciate suggestions. If you have any suggestions for my reading list, please let me know. Also, see Bookcrossing.com for ways to spread books around.
