    Holy crow! I am reporting you to the Council to Prevent Eyeball Abuse! Seriously, that’s a very impressive list and I’m jealous.

    I used to average 4-5 books per month but with a demanding job and a lot of outside obligations, I haven’t finished any of the books I have started. But the ones I have in progress are:

    Obama Nation
    Outraged
    The Heritage Foundation Guide to the Constitution

    I listened to an audio book, Three Weeks with My Brother (Nicholas Sparks).

    So of the list above, which one title would you recommend?

    I read Twilight AGAIN (I know, leave me alone!)
    I also found time to read:
    The Bell Jar by Sylvia Plath (never read it before, really deep)
    Candy Girl by Diablo Cody (she wrote “Juno” and won an Oscar, I think)
    Paint It Black by Janet Fitch (my new fave writer, after this and White Oleander)
    and started Anna Karenina, but don’t really think I’ll finish it. Oh well, I tried.
