SUNDAY: NOT-A-CHALLENGE
A few months ago, we all did the 15 things about books meme. This challenge is basically to pull three additional tidbits out of your magical hats that are not on your original list.
(everyone should do it! 100,000 points can be yours! Er, or something.)
owlmoose, I told you it wouldn't easy. ;)

(Why, yes I am creepy.)
1. I have stolen books from libraries! I think this was just accidental; not purposeful thievery, after all. I was just a kid. The last book I can recall doing this to was A Density of Souls by Christopher Rice (yes, that Rice).
(the book was terrible. I think I only took it because it bored me so much I tossed it on my floor and it became part of The Land Under My bed.)
2. A book I have been attempting to reread for years but just cannot manage: Abarat, by Clive Barker. The prose! SO TERRIBLE.
3. I have never completely read a book while in the bookstore. Half or three-quarters, sure, but I'm fairly confident I actually haven't sat down in a store and completed any novel. Of course, this could be a side-effect of skimming through boring bits, too. Ooops!
Challenger (since I just made a rule challengers can choose their successors right now) for next Sunday is not_cynical. Get crackin'! Uh, you know. If you want.
