A little tip
I just found this website and I'm really liking it Blob5
http://www.librarything.com

It's a bit like last.fm but with books. You can add your book collection, and it'll show up in a nice little list with the cover and everything. You can add your own information like the date when you started reading the book and so on.
Just like last.fm, the site gives you book recommendations based on your own collection. You can also see statistics about your collection and...it's all very interesting scool

If someone joins, tell me and I'll add you to my friendlist! :twisted:

I'd be a dog, a monkey or a bear, or anything but that vain animal, who is so proud of being rational.

Oh, I have to add Squee! ssurprised

Also, one of my recommendations has the same author as that Man Mistook his Wife for a Hat book. Is that any good? sconfused

Squee! :twisted:
I wasn't sure if I would find that one since it technically isn't a book :laugh:

And which book did you get recommended? Awakenings?
The man who mistook his wife for a hat is an interesting read, that's for sure. It's not my favourite book but it's worth reading. stongue

Whoa, it's actually 2 books.

Seeing Voices and A Leg to Stand On are what it recommended.
Maybe I'll get it. stongue

Oh...well I haven't read those so I don't know, I thought it'd be Awakenings as it's his most famous book. It was made into a movie and stuff Blob5

Anyway in case you don't know, the guy is a neurologist and mostly writes about his own cases. Like "The man who mistook his wife for a hat" is a bunch of short stories where he writes about some interesting neurological issues he has come to see during his career. So if you think that sounds interesting...then I recommend it. But not otherwise as I found the writing to be a bit boring in itself :laugh:
But the cases made up for it scool
