Started a book collection 8 months ago and here's what I've got going on.

I'm still reading the Amy Poehler Yes Please book -- it's quite entertaining and an easy read, and the last book that I read was Infinite Jest. The first thing that I read was the Hunger Games trilogy.

I read The Hunger Games trilogy because I wanted to know what happened after the second movie and could not wait 2 years.
It was shit, Katniss in the books is a fucking bitch who whines about everything, at least in the movie we have Jennifer Lawrence to look at.

Cool. Make sure to keep us posted as your collection grows. Looking forward to your future threads. Thanks OP.

I dunno it's probably really good but there's a lot more to do with my waking life than just read contemporary doorstopper bullshit (DeLillo, Pynchon, DFW)

I don't think you can get half way through it without forming creases on the spine, and having multiple bookmarks I assume is also typical

This is the current collection that I have with me right now. I'm away from home in the Navy, so this is no where near my full collection of books. I have a bunch of ebooks as well, but I just love used book stores, so I can't help myself when I find them.

I actually didn't put a single crease in mine, but I'm generally real gentle on my spines so that doesn't happen. however there are more than a few scuffs on the edges cause the cover is real flimsy.
