I am kind of a book whore. There isn't much I would say "no" to. Even bad reading is reading. You never know when you will be stuck in a doctor's exam room with nothing to read but the pamphlet on Albuterin. Or a chick lit book left behind by someone.
Several of the above are in various stages of un-read. I am quite bad about starting a book and then meandering on to another before I have finished it. At any stage in my life, I am in the middle of anywhere between 2-12 books. Whoops.
