What I'm (not) reading

I am a voracious reader.

When I started my blog, I was so excited to share "what I'm reading" via a fun sidebar.

If anyone is paying attention, you'll notice that my sidebar has yet to change from The Book Thief.

The Book Thief, Markus Zusak


I had several friends recommend the book and read nothing but rave reviews online.  So I picked it up and kept waiting to get hooked. It hasn't happened.

I typically go to bed eager to read for half an hour. But now I find I'm saying "meh, I could watch TV for half an hour instead..."

This is the longest it's ever taken me to read a book.

The thing is, I've invested too much time to turn back now. And, I don't want to be the only one who "doesn't get" The Book Thief. Why am I not loving it like everyone else did?

Anyway, it doesn't help that the book below has been waiting on my bedside, taunting me to pick it up. 200 more pages of TBT and I have date with Elizabeth Taylor and Richard Burton.

Furious Love, Sam Kashner & Nancy Schoenberger
