I'll put myself down as a voracious reader. I want to reread all of Jane Austen and read some of the works I've never read before, like her juvenilia. That plus the fifteen I already committed to reading should equal three books a month but I can easily tuckle in a few other books as needed. <br /><br />Count me in! I'll post reviews in my book blog.Satiahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03227625739706115993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515719778921089707.post-59663366618102631182011-05-17T11:41:22.913-04:002011-05-17T11:41:22.913-04:00Thanks for the follow!

Blogger deleted any comments that happened on Thursday and Friday so I didn't see it. :(<br /><br />I read some classics when I was younger but I definitely appreciate them more now. My family's view was as long as I was reading something they were happy with it. I think my eclectic tastes are a direct result of that, although I can't say that I wouldn't have appreciated people buying books of a higher caliber for me to read.gabrielreadshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11809365791580695386noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4515719778921089707.post-9289324502872448452011-05-15T17:15:09.814-04:002011-05-15T17:15:09.814-04:00Btw, I did get your response.
