Do you usually read these in one week or is it over a specific amount of time? It’s a pretty impressive list!

Yah I’m sort of curious about Thomas’s question, too! How long does it take you to read them and do you read one at a time or how does it work? -lily

LOL!

I tend to read books at the same time. I have a short attention span and so move between books in order to keep seated for long enough

On average, and if you’re going to clock it in linear time, then I probably average something like a book a week. Two if lucky.

Hey Maha,
What did you think of “The Year of Living Biblically”? I saw that one in the bookstore and it piqued my interest, but I was undecided. Just finished “Remember Me?”-Sophie Kinsella seems to be everyone’s indulgence.
As for the book a week, the cooking, the curling, the exercise,and whatever else you do, I think you need to share with me some of your stash of energy drinks or whatever your secret is:P

LOL, Michelle!! Any time you wish to discuss them, you just let me know

Bethina – am still making my way through it. There are some really funny parts and I am loving his wife. I think his initiative is awesome, as it’s nice to see someone not approach religion as though it were a fucking disaster area. Kudos to him – and would love to see him tackle the Quran, actually.

As for the energy drinks? Drink lots of milk and eat a lot of leafy greens as well as fresh nuts. It works!! (Sort of — go and take a peek at my latest post titled “Out of Touch”)…

If ever you have any book recommendations, please pass them along…I am almost always buried beneath a great pile and it’s there that I’m at my happiest.
