That's why I'm really pushing myself til my last breath. Hehe. Awesome recommendations! From your list, I was only able to read <em>Getting Things Done</em> and <em>How to Lose Friends and Influence People</em> --- er, <em>waitaminute!</em> Did you say <em>Infuriate</em>?! If yes, then no, I haven't read <em>that</em>. :lol: I guess, I can understand how some books can take a while to finish cuz I'm stuck on several. But 6 years?! Egad. LOL. Yea, great to meet you at the event! Hope to bump into you online more often! :) I guess it is. That’s why I’m really pushing myself til my last breath. Hehe.

Off the top of my head, my recommends are: Non-fiction: Brief History of Everything, Power of Now, I Celebrate Myself, 4 Hour Work Week, Getting Things Done, A History of Knowledge, How to Lose Friends and Infuriate People, and Awakening the Giant. Fiction and Narrative: Fear of Flying, Belgariad series (best LOTR type of series), The Neverending Story (Hand down best fantasy book I've ever read), Angela's Ashes, and Zen and the Art of Motorcycle Maintenance - which took me 6 difficult years to read. By the way, nice meeting you at the Online Marketing event of USAutoParts. 500 books to read is definitely a huge and worthwhile undertaking. Off the top of my head, my recommends are:

Pride & Prejudice is an all-time favourite (hence my reading it over and over). Do grab another copy of a Jane Austen novel if you can. I'm a bit surprised that you like "dark stuff"; you're so bright and sunny most of the time! :D <strong>Tina:</strong> Thanks po! We do need a new pair every now and then, yeah? I just finished my first book of the year, too. It's a re-read, though. I hope to read more new books this year! :) <strong>Joni:</strong> If there's a Jane Austen book I'd recommend, it's Pride & Prejudice. I do hope you get around reading one soon. (Says a Jane Austen fan, LOL) Oh,is Middlesex a place like Sussex (in the book)? :) Sophie: Thanks! Pride & Prejudice is an all-time favourite (hence my reading it over and over).

Sheesh. But I definitely will -- at least in this lifetime, LOL. I'm still on Jeffrey Eugenides' 2nd book called "Middlesex" (no it's not something sexual, haha). It's taking me a while to finish, but it's not because the book's boring. I just lack the time. Hehe. Enjoy your handful! :) I’ve been wanting to read Jane Austen’s books since forever but never got around to doing it. Sheesh. But I definitely will — at least in this lifetime, LOL.

I want to get new glasses too since mine seems to be ready to break off anytime. --; I have this goal to read 50 books this year, and I just finished my first one -- The Cubicle Next Door by Siri L. Mitchell. It's Christian chicklit, and it's such a fun read because the protagonist is a blogger too. :D Right now I'm reading The Princess Bride by William Goldman, which I have been trying to read since last year. It's been a fun read so far. I've got about 15 more books in my reading list, heh. Oh, as for recommendations, try picking up The Eyre Affair by Jasper Fforde. One of my personal favorites which I recommend to all bookworms I meet. :) Nice glasses! I want to get new glasses too since mine seems to be ready to break off anytime. –;

Bagay! *wink* Oh, I love Inferno. :) ( and other dark stuff ). I've only read Pride and Prejudice and haven't read any Jane Austen novels, but I do hope I would have the chance. Right now, I'm waiting for books 2 and 3 of His Dark Materials by Philip Pullman, and erm, a stock market book? teehee :)) Seeking to read Paradise Lost, too :) Stylish specs!
