A deeply scary collection: Stories that scared even me by Alfred Hitchcock

I suggest to read among those short stories:

• Fishhead by Irving S. Cobb
  Sin un ruido by Damon Knight
  La cámara oscura by Basil Copper
  La Fiesta de Cumpleaños by John Burke
  La Jaula by Ray Russell
  ¡Tan real! by Robert Specht
  La Habitación de los niños by William Wood

30 books already??? it is a pretty good start,congrats.

Have a nice weekend, Yadira.

yeah I mean what is more cool that having a huge library....
The problem with that is the financial aspect of the book collection... so I ask a lot of books for my birthday and christmas...

And I also have half of my harry potter collection in hardcover and soft one set to keep in good shape...as I will do with my twilight books...

OOh can you see yourself sitting in your own library with a lot of really good books.... (ooh man I sound like hermiony)

I hope you are enjoying the weekend as well...

Having your own library is wonderful until you have to move. Then all those books aren't nearly so fun anymore!

I'm an avid book reader. My favourite genres are fantasy, children's fiction and historical novels...and the classics of course!
My new bookshelf - which takes a whole wall in the biggest room in my flat - is already full and I have boxes and boxes of books in the garage.
I'm thinking about getting an e-reader and buy only the must-have books from now on. Unfortunately, there are no e-readers available in Italy because all the e-books are in English. It's hard to choose and buy electronics on the net for me so maybe I'll buy one as soon as I travel abroad.

Reading is a special pleasure...it makes you enter a new world. I'd read every single moment, were it possible Luckily enough I teach languages and literature so books are my "job" as well.

About used books I agree with you, guys...in second hands stores you can find some little treasures. For example, once I bought from a second-hand UK store on Amazon a book by Edna O'Brien, one of my favourite authoress. I was so happy to find that the first page was signed by O'Brien herself...I couldn't believe it, just 2 euros for a signed book!!!! Plus, in the second-hand market you can find books that are nt published any more or very rare and old editions. It's pure book-addict heaven!

@Openhome I agree with you...moving with hundreds of books is definitely a hell-like experience. I relocated twice in a couple of years and I was going mad.

I have tried that actually this summer... I bought a house and had to move all my books and those of my boyfriend.
It wasn't that bad... I just had to make sure I had enough boxes...

I have to admit...it's such a fantasy of mine! To have a room that's all mine and soley used to store books!! I'd be in heaven. I get all giddy just thinking about it Definitely on my To Do List!!!!

A room with just books would be terrific. Put a big, comfy chair and a fireplace in there and I would be in heaven. I would also love an art studio and sewing/quilting room.
If wishes were horses...
