OTOH there are those who claim she is a he... but it was only a bad hair day and still romping about in her pyjamas

I've been wondering about that avatar FOREVER. It's scary. But not as scary as the moderator clown.

Well I don't think Marc's monkey is so scary. I just can't figure out if the Interfenestral Monkey is a monkey hiding between the windows or a monkey punching holes in the walls (thereby creating windows). I suspect I'm thinking too literally here.

Me, too. I'll buy an ebook now if I really, really want it (and there's not a significantly cheaper alternative, such as plibraries, elibraries, or used), but the days when I bought an appealing book because of coupons/discounting are largely over. It's just too darned hard to find books I want to read that are coupon-friendly, now that RH has joined the cabal.

So, I've got about 300 books on various devices, but that includes some all-time favorites. And then there are the shelves of pbooks, plus my library lists and the books I'll get around to buying when I'm in the mood to read them. I can't come up with a hard-and-fast number, but it must be in the 500-1000 range.

My only real goal this year is to finish the laundry basket of pbooks I've got sitting on my bedroom floor. And next year I can have another laundry basket, and the year after that.... But I've decided that if I haven't read a pbook at the end of the three-year period, it's never going to happen.

Oh, I have hundreds of books that I haven't read and might read someday, but my actual to be read list... maybe that should be "on schedule to be read" list is about 15. I can't imagine having more than that. I'm under enough pressure to get going as it is.

I gave up trying to keep track of a formal TBR list. Basically because every TBR list I ever compiled seemed to end up resembling a "Books I'm Not Really Excited Enough About to Read Right Now" list. So now whenever I finish a book, I do a little soul-searching and determine which book would make my BIEEAtRRN list... and there's usually only one book on it at a time.
