Do you belong to any book clubs?
At one time, I was subscribing to the Book-of-the-Month Club, The Reader's Subscription, the Library of America (still my favorite), and the History Book Club.

I have pared it down to just the HBC, and waiting for my third invitation to re-join the LOA. My bookcases overfloweth, and I fall further behind.

Check the LOA here: http://www.loa.org

1. Yes. It's called "grad school" and the books chosen are a drag.
Some glorious day, sometime after May this year, I'll have a life again. Then I'll join the trashiest book club reading list and dive in. I can't wait!

5. Cast list to be posted Monday
But we're having a belated cast party for my last production this Saturday, and it's the same director, so I could find out prematurely if it's a go. :D

6. Oh, you're a shoo-in!
I can see you just drip with presence, even over the internet. :hi:

3. No. Last Semester I had to read books that I didn't choose. Now it's
all about ME. Yeah, you heard me right, it's ALL about me.

8. Science Fiction Book Club -- www.sfbc.com
I signed up with them as part of the "get 6 books for only $1 deal" about a couple years ago -- I still have to buy 4 books from them at regular price (was supposed to over a span of two years). Still, it was a good deal, it's only that I get tired of making sure they don't send me their books-of-the-month.
