Reading is sexy

I have a few stickers that, for some reason beyond explanation, I felt compelled to put on the top of my laptop a few months ago. Yes, stickers (kind of like bumper stickers). No, I'm not a kindergartner, although some days I wish I could be. So, thanks to my wouldn't-it-be-fun-to-put-these-on-my-laptop whim, I now have a few colorful bits of reading for anyone who happens to be in the room with me while I'm on my computer (such as right now, although I don't think my dog can actually read). These stickers say a variety of things: Agape; truthiness; Sarcasm - it's what's for breakfast. But my favorite is the one that says "Reading is Sexy."

Heck yeah it is!

Thus, being the (sexy?) bibliophile that I am, I've added to my sidebar (<-----) a sexy list of sexy books from my sexy library on LibraryThing. The list should change with each blog visit to show a few randomly-picked books that I'm reading, or have read already. I tend to read quickly, and several books at a time, so I'll try to update it as often as possible. Let me know if you've read any of them or if you have any other reading recommendations.

Also, as you may have noticed, I like posting quotes from various sources. A lot of these quotes come from books I'm currently reading. As I read, I highlight sentences and dog-ear pages with quotes that really stand out to me or generate writing ideas. Yes, I'm a fool with a highlighter when I'm reading a quotable book (and inadvertently sniffing too much highlighter in the process, which may explain why, later on, I can't figure out my reasoning for highlighting certain things...maybe that's what happened when I got sticker-happy). Even the passages in my bibles are covered with highlights from the special bible-highlighters that won't bleed through the page. Those are a great invention, I say, and they don't even put out any special fumes.
