The Lazier than Lazy Person's Book Club

Over at Jumping the Candlestick, Debbie has been hosting a Lazy Person's Book Club. I have been wanting to join, but was too lazy until now.

Anyhoo, here is a partial list of the books I plan to read. In keeping with the lazy theme, it is incomplete (to be finished when I am not too lazy to find books to fit remaining criteria).

So far:

1. A book of fiction you've been looking forward to reading:

Emma Jean Lazarus Fell in love, by Lauren Tarshis

2. A book of non-fiction you've been looking forward to reading:

3. A book by someone who's last name begins with Z:

4. A book from a genre you rarely, if ever, read:

Prairie Tale by Melissa Gilbert

(Despite the fact that I do not make a habit of reading kiss and tell books, I am intrigued by this memoir because I was SUCH a Little House on The Prairie fan. I wanted to BE Melissa Gilbert. I suspect after reading about her life I'll probably be glad I wasn't).

5. A book that was an award winner, or bestseller, from the year you were born:

6. Your best friend's favorite book:

7. A book you figure you probably should read, even if you don't want to:

Too many, but I've settled on Animal Farm, by George Orwell, because my son is reading it for English class in fall.

8. A book that has recently received rave reviews:

The Guernsey Literary and Potato Peel Pie Society, by Shaffer and Barrows

9. A book by someone who shares your first name:

The Girls, by Lori Lansens

10. A book that pertains to a skill you do not, and never will, have:

Math Doesn't Suck, by Danica McKellar

(I was a Wonder Years Fan, and a math phobic)

11. A book recommended by your hairstylist:

I've started "Guernsey Literary. . ." (too lazy to type the whole title again), which my mother is also reading.

Stay Tuned. . . .
