    so many books - so many fabrics -so many patterns...so little time
    to quilt or read, that is the question!

    I have read 23 books on the list. :oops: But I think that I own alot of the others. I just love to read. I can read almost a book a day if it's really good. But now that I'm back to quilting, knitting, etc.. I have'nt read as much. Just finished Woman in White. Definitly a great read. Fav when I was a child was The Little Princess, Stuart Little and Nancy Drew. I still love Gone with the Wind and To Kill a Mockingbird. I live in an effiency, but have a full wall of bookshelves, half a closet full, and part of my pantry. Also have quilting supplies and yarn.

    Several of those books are free through Amazon.com if you have a Kindle. I have them on my Kindle, but have not gotten around to reading them yet. I will though.

    I have read all but 38, so that makes 62. I think you would be hard pressed to find anyone who has read the complete works of Shakespeare.

    I have read 80, but of the 20 I haven't read I have read others from the same author. Some authors I did not enjoy well enough to read all that he/she wrote. Isn't it interesting how the list of what a well read person should read changes with the years? Many of the older authors are left off of this one and most of the pultizer prize winners also.
