Stopped at the thrift shop on the way home from work today and picked up this #bookhaul for only $0.80!

Booksnchill I remember reading Centennial on a long road trip with my Grandparents out west- I just always bought the thickest books I could find - I had limited money and they had to last. Love a good epic! 5y

Definitely entertaining and comical but a bit long! I did enjoy it though. 😊

I'm reading this for the second time and falling in love with it all over again! It's so easy to read and I love how it is written out like a journal so you can put it down and pick it up whenever you need too.

As much as I think about sex, I can only with extreme difficulty conceive of myself actually performing the act. And here's another thing I wonder about. How could you ever look a girl in the eye after you've had your winkie up her wendell? I mean, doesn't that render normal social conversation impossible? Apparently not.

LeahBergen This book!! 😂 8y

😬 is it bad I'm bailing on this already(page ten)?!! Maybe I'll try again when I'm in a sillier mood.

Pete No way. Don't feel guilty about bailing on one book to start another, there are too many good ones out there that you could be missing… or that's what I tell myself. 8y
sprainedbrain Heck no! Life is too short to read stuff you don't like. 👍 8y
SusanInTiburon Why try again? It sounds like it's not your book. Nothing wrong with that. 8y
LeahBergen Nope! You really DO need to be in a super-silly mood for this one. 8y
Zelma Life is too short and there are too many books that will remain unread. I am a huge proponent of abandoning books. 8y

Adding to the #TBR list with a little visit to @Powells today.

Reviewsbylola ❤️ Tom Perrotta and Jeffrey Eugenides. Enjoy! 8y
Yournewfriendsams @Reviewsbylola they're two of my favorites but somehow I've never read these two! I have a feeling it's going to be an unproductive week 😁 8y
LeahBergen I got a good laugh out of Youth in Revolt. I hope you like it, too. 8y

azulaco I'm jealous too! Every time we visit my inlaws in Portland I insist on at least half a day to myself in Powell's downtown. Heaven. 😍 8y
Yournewfriendsams @Bookworm83 & @azulaco Powells is probably my favorite place in PDX ☺️ come to Portland one day and I'll meet you there for a cuppa! Always like meeting bookish friends! 8y
