What book do you think you will be stuck with forever? I've had the following on my bookshelf for over 2 years. and actually it was an pretty good read.
Shadow Ranch: A Novel The impact of four-year-old Spencer's death has rocked the Carpenter family. For Lainie, the loss of her son is unbearable, and now both her marriage and her very sanity are threatened. Her guitar-obsessed, slacker brother Russell isn't doing very well either, and his own love relationship is rapidly coming undone. Then there's Bop, her fierce and crusty 80-year-old grandfather. When he falls in love with a retired stripper, their earthy romance touches each of the Carpenters' lives in unexpected ways. |

I have had many Nora Roberts' books on my bookshelf. (I haven't read them either) They do not move. I am going to donate them to a convalescent hospital nearby. |

I have 2 types of books on my "forever" shelf. Those I love and hope to reread ie THE POISENWOOD BIBLE, WHITE OLEANDER, and a few others that I can't name withott going and looking. And those that I thought I would like, tried one or two and didn't get caught up in, and aren't moving from my PBS bookshelf (yes this is all one category) ie Tami Hoag, Nancy Taylor Rosenberg, and Iris Johansen. I also have some very old books that I keep. |

White Oleander is a very good book! I've only been a member since December but about half of the original 10 books I posted are still there. Of course, many of the books I've received through PBS and subsequently posted are there too. I don't worry too much about it. I'm not going anywhere and eventually, they will all move. :)

SECRETS ABOUT MEN EVERY WOMAN SHOULD KNOW by Barbara De Angelis. I listed it in August of 06. Other books by popular authors such as Robert Ludlum, John Sandford, John Grisham and Mary Higgins Clark, tend to "hang around" a long time because there are so many of them in the system |

Sandra Brown books - nobody touches them, I wonder why? |

Karen, I don't. They are terrible even worse than Danielle Steel. Some one once described these books as "pink porn". Believe me, I AM NOT A PRUDE! I just don't like these books. Maybe it's the writing, as well. |

Fame: Aint it a B**** by AJ Benza...and it actually provided me with endless entertainment. Yet, it is withering on my bookshelf. |

A Farewell to Arms, Madame Bovary, Hard Times, and Death in Venice are surprising, because they're classics. I actually have a few copies of 'Farewell to Arms" and 'Madame Bovary,' otherwise I'd probably keep them. I've also got a mythology book and a collection of romantic historical fiction on my shelf that no one seems terribly interested in. |
