Clever book bag

Look its a book...no its a bag...

Apparently this clever, canvas book bag  was sent to Anthropologie’s (a top US store) top customers in 2008 as a Holiday gift and thank you. Its very cool.

Books are delightful society...

"Books are delightful society.

If you go into a room and find it full of books

- even without taking them from the shelves

they seem to speak to you, to bid you welcome."

-William Ewart Gladstone

Ive been reading...

I recently finished Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen and I loved it. I enjoyed it from beginning to end and can't wait to watch the film version next year. I would highly recommend this book to anyone looking for an interesting, superbly written read.

* Note: Sara Gruen's new book, Ape House, is coming out next month in USA. 

I have just started reading Eat, Pray, Love by Elizabeth Gilbert. Ive been wanting to read this book for over a year or two , but when so many people started to read it (and talk to me about it) and there was so much hype about it - I decided to read it at another stage of my life or not at all (i don't know why, its just how i felt at the time). Anyways, so here I am starting to read it on the week that the Eat, Pray, Love film is released in US cinemas (and no, I wont see the film until I finish the book). I have not read very much yet, but so far I am really enjoying it (i finally get why everyone has been raving about it). I absolutely adore Gilbert's style of writing. I will keep you posted on what I think of the book.

Do tell...

I am currently between books and have started to wonder which book I feel like reading next. Top of my list right now is Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen ( I did put it on my first book club list on here, but never got around to reading it)
