Mount To Be Read
Read in 2006
Read in 2005
OK, so some people have a couple of books on hand which are waiting to be read. Others have a pile - or perhaps a small shelf.  Then there are those who, like me, have nothing less than a mountain. However much I read, the pile of books waiting to read seems to grow and grow. Don't get me wrong, I love it! All those treasures, gems waiting, wanting, to be discovered and enjoyed.  Here's my personal mountain. I keep climbing, but the summit just gets further away - and for that I am eternally grateful.
