Now, I'm like you. I need even 10 minutes before bed to drift off with a good book. Interesting list. I don't think I've read a single book on it. Of course, I spend most of my time reading books by independent authors for my book blog. I have a huge list of mainstream novels that I have yet to find time for, and some I never will! So many books... so little time! Happy reading!

Hopefully when my kids are older, I'll be able to do the same! I've got a hellacious pile of child-rearing books on my bedside table that I delve into when I've just confronted my particularly obstinate 4 year old (how is it that he still throws tantrums now and again?!)....and I do confess loving British fiction (being a Brit myself). Lately however, mysteries have really hit the spot. I'm a fan of Donna Leon, Lee Child and Patricia Cornwell. Guess I have to put my literary pretensions aside for a while. Perhaps the Twilight series is for me! Love your pile and applaud you for the ability to read! Hopefully when my kids are older, I’ll be able to do the same!
