i wanted to share my bookshelf with you - i’ve read *some* books, most are half-read and yes, a few are untouched. my plan is to aim on finishing atleast 2 unread books every month - anyone want to start a virtual bookclub with me? or at the least share their book shelves with me? Img_3120

  1. I know posting this photo is cool and all … but to get serious … start using iRead on facebook …
    seriously!

    Though, the photos look sweeeet!

    Also, you know what this means … now I’ll have to start “borrowing” books!

    heh

  4. Vinit - Fine,fine. I’m adding the iread application, but my bookshelf photos are wayy cooler.

    Shoefiend - In full disclosure, i received them while working for a market research agency for a trend reporting we were writing. But yes, can’t complain. :)
    Beks - Yes, lets do it. Who else should we invite? and how do we begin!?!

  8. I only read half way through books too… what is that about?

    I dont know if it is short attention span, or I find some new book I want to read… and the cycle continues.

I believe in a set of values I cannot live by. I set high goals for myself, I seek perfection, dream of exotic faraway places. But ultimately, what I long for isn't far away at all. Its in my own backyard. Imperfection charms me, familiar things move me... a celebration of what we have, instead of what we long for- that for me, is glamor. -Isabella Rossellini
