My book list (it's rather old, but I'm hoping to update it soon) is located here, if you're interested in some new finds. I'm going to add Lolita to my "must-read" list though, because you kept mentioning quotes from it!

I was looking for some new lj friends and Samantha (lilacwine) recommended you!
Please add me back :)
ps: I had to laugh with recognition when I read this because I could say the same thing myself - "A brunette with blue eyes, a stick thin figure and a gorgeous tan. I wish my boobs were bigger though."
