I only have two of these. "A Brief History of Time" by Steven Hawkings and "Harry Potter and the Sorcerors Stone" by JK Rowling. I had "Iacocca" at one time but I must have gotten rid of it during one of my infrequent book thinnning projects.

And a coworker had "Left Behind" in the office for about 6 weeks. I read it in two days. She never read it.

So, naturally, I've picked a couple more of them I want to read. Cold Mountain, Beloved, Fast Food Nation, The Deep End of the Ocean....OK. More than a couple. You know, if I needed more books on my TBR list, all I have to do is search my LibraryThing catalog or go through my "Book of Great Books." Why do I have to keep finding new books online?
