Between me and Aaron that is. Our friends have been inviting us to join Goodreads so last night I signed up. By the time I had put up around 100 books, Aaron had taken notice and was almost jumping up and down at the chance to make his own list. The rest of the night we played tug of war for the computer in an attempt to stay ahead. I'm still winning with 230+ while Aaron has only 196. Thankfully, I'm still running off the top of my head so I haven't had to dip into all those terrible books I read when I was 15 and subsisting on a steady diet of 1960-70 sci-fi paperbacks from the thrift store. I'm sad to admit that I learned I could read long before I learned what was worth reading.

That book cover oddly reminds me of the cover of "A Brave New World".

So you are responsible for my 400+ updates on goodreads...
I LOVE that cover!! It's awesome! I wish my copy looked so cool. I bet it'd be a lot easier to get high schoolers to read the book if they had kept that cover art.
My very favorite copy of Candide I found for 10 cents in the thrift shop. It's ILLUSTRATED with crazy 1960s line drawings and some are fairly scandalous. I wouldn't sell it for the world.
