What books on your shelf are begging to be read?

Joanne's FAVORITE answer:
Oh don't even get me started. Right now, just within sight, I have "Glencoe" by John Prebble, "TheRunaway Jury" by John Grishom, "The Handmaid's Tale" by Margaret Atwood, "Spindle's End" by Robin McKinley, "Winning Modern Wars" byGen. Wesley Clark, "Khublai Khan" by Rossabi, "Fierce Invalids HomeFrom Hot Climates" by Tom Robbins, "The Deluxe Transitive Vampire: AHandbook of Grammar for the Innocent, the Eager and the Doomed" byKaren Elizabeth Gordon, "The Silent War" by Ben Bova, "Crime and Punishment" by Fyodor Dostoyevsky, "Common Sense" by Thomas Paine, and"Eternity Road" by Jack McDevitt. And I've gotta go by the bookstore to get an Xmas present so I *know*I'm gonna find myself something else I've been wanting to read.

Joanne's answer:
I've been meaning to finish reading Brian's brother's book, "Seven Months Deep" by Jon King. I read the first 40 pages or so back in September and really liked it, but then have just been too busy to finish it. By the way, if you are looking for a new book to read, I strongly recommend Brian's book, "Frozen Coffee Melting"(http://www.amazon.com/Frozen-Coffee-Melting-Brian-King/dp/0595169929/sr=11-1/qid=1165427238/ref=sr_11_1/104-5299467-2383946) ... I may be a little biased because he is my friend, but it is definitely one of the best books I have ever read!

And the other answers!

1. Leigh Montville's "BIG BAM". It's another biography about the greatest baseball player of the 20th century and maybe the second greatest influential athlete ever (behind Ali). Montville wrote the defining biography on Teddy Ballgame a few years back and I enjoyed it so much, I read it three times. I am sure this one will be much of the same...

2. Considering that when I finish reading a book I put it elsewhere I must say that ALL the books on my shelf are calling to be read. And...that my dear is alot of books. I love to read however, I buy them and cannot read them all as soon as I buy them. So...there usually is an abundance of books already for me to read!

3. All the books on my shelf have been read but there was one I found in the boxes that I am reading again "Love" by Leo Buscaglia

4. I guess I'll have to wait for Christmas because I have read them all and the shelves are empty.

5. Actually, none. I've read pretty much everything in the house that I'm interested in. Although, the next book that I will probably try to take out of the library is Jonathan Safron Foer's Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close.

6. I'm down to the last of the Chronicles of Narnia: "The Last Battle".

7. Nora Roberts – anything Nora Roberts… well and JD Robb too.
