I am constantly in search of new books. Whether I go to Barnes & Noble, or Borders I'm always looking for the next thing to read. I usually take a photo of the books I want to get when I browse through the bookstores I visit. You can see some of those photos on Flickr, in this album. If you have a suggestion for me, please feel free to send me a note, or if you'd like to comment on any of the books I have in here, feel free to leave a comment. Thanks for stopping by!
