Book Meme. I is read many books!
Stolen from mistresshuette.
These are the top 106 books most often marked as "unread" by LibraryThing’s users. As in, they sit on the shelf to make you look smart or well-rounded.

Victory!
Someone brought Krispy Kremes in this morning, and they were in our local kitchenette (there are coffee machines and water and mini fridges randomly dispersed throughout the floor, as well as a large central kitchen where the vending machines and soda live).

I’ve been quiet for two weeks! And I was on a posting roll for a while. Sigh.
So, I went to Vegas for one weekend, for my brother’s 30th birthday. That was fun, being the first time I actually gambled there.
