I am very jealous of the number of books you have read (Brenna). I am planning on catching up soon. The little break from reading is over now. I have acquired new books, many at the suggestion of others, and from going through Half Price Books a few times recently. I have started Glory Road by Robert A Heinlein. He became a favorite of mine in the last few years. I learned about him by researching other authors that influenced one of my favorites Ray Bradbury. Heinlein's characters always intrigue me. We'll see how this book goes.
Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close is a book that interests me. Sadly, the books listed in the previous post are more my sister's taste than mine. Science fiction and fantasy of course more my reading style. But there are so many good books that I need to branch out and try reading.
