What kind of reading challenges that I can get into?
I have been inspired by goodreads and their bulletin boards.
I am inspired by the books that sit on the display shelves for ages and don't get loved. Why?

Quite a number of years later... I found this blog very useful. I thought I had a read another copy of a book in my pile ... and I was right. Blogs are no longer considered cool but having this database to work with from another part of the world - makes me smile.
The book in question is Split second by David Baldacci. I remember reading this in the middle of the night in Gatlinburg NC when I couldn't sleep.

Random piece from The outsiders
"This house ain't messy. You oughtta see my house."
"I have. And if you had the sense of a billy goat you'd try to help around the place instead of bumming around."
"Shoot, kid, if I ever did that your mom would die of shock."
I liked Two-Bit's mother. She had the same good humour and easygoing ways that he did. She wasn't lazy like him, but she him get away with murder.
-- S.E. Hinton
[my comment.. I prefer to read, stitch, write, over housework]
