It didn’t take long for J.D. Robb to get knocked out of the top spot. After spending just one week at No.1, Robb’s latest mystery/romance, Promises in Death, drops down to No.3 on the chart, making way for Jodi Picoult’s Handle With Care. John Grisham held steady at No.2 with The Associate, a book that’s [...]
When I mentioned to a friend of mine that I read ebooks almost exclusively these days, she was kind of surprised by the admission. But since she knows that my taste in literature usually runs towards the classics, she figured I just grabbed my texts from Project Gutenberg for free. While that’s certainly the case [...]
I have a rather lengthy To Read List (TRL) for this month, as there are just so many interesting sounding books out there that I want to get to. I’m usually in the middle of at least two books (one on my Kindle and one on my iPod), with a bunch more waiting on my [...]
My friend Amber is something of an alarmist and a hypochondriac rolled into one. When she’s not worried about the polar ice caps melting to cause a Day After Tomorrow scenario, she obsesses about germs and her health.

My uncle is something of a watch collector. He just started on this hobby recently, like within the past three years or so, but already has a number of timepieces in his collection. He prefers classic pocket watches most of all, but occasionally has been known to splurge on pricier name-brand wristwatches as well. His [...]
Both my brother (Rob) and my stepfather have been laid off from their jobs recently, and are currently commiserating with each other about the situation. Rob is taking a far more proactive approach to this setback than my stepfather, but I guess that’s to be expected because of the age difference. I’d imagine that it’s [...]
Here are the New York Times Best-Sellers for March 8, 2009. J.D. Robb (Nora Roberts) has overtaken the top spot, which was previously held by John Grisham. The Associate falls into second place, while two other new releases crack the top 5. Hardcover Fiction: 1. PROMISES IN DEATH, by J. D. Robb 2. THE ASSOCIATE, [...]
