Has anyone read The Book Thief? I bought it on Friday and have been engrossed. I'm about 250 pages in so far and it's got me thoroughly hooked. If anyone else has read it, I was hoping for some thoughts about whether Death is a corporeal being in the book or a spirit that just has a shape of some sort? He refers to himself as a 'he' so if he has a ( Read more... )

I just want to say (though I know it isn't much) that I love your words.

Oh, it is much, believe me. I do not say that flippantly. I hope things are well on your end, while you are hiatus-ing.

I am glad. I am sort of unhiatusing! Though I need to do some work, so I'll be scurrying back to the books, as it goes. But I'm being more unhiatus-y!

Books do have a way of demanding our attention, don't they? It's nice to see you gradually unhiatus-ing (I enjoy this word for some reason). I am working on an app for the Seventh Doctor for realityshifted. A week later, I realized I'd written a novella on the psychology section alone. Thankfully, you will be spared this. :D

I haven't read it yet cuz the girl I work with at the library is reading it.. but once she's finished with it I'm next on the reserve. :D

i haven't read it yet, but my roommate has it and i will attack it soon!

I will give a final review on it when I finish it, but so far, it's shaping up to be the kind of book I'd recommend to everyone.

I haven't been to Santa Cruz yet, but I've been near that area and it's really quite lovely. Really, the Bay Area is wonderful, and the Central Coast is equally so. I did not care for LA, but it seems like the type of place that would be all right to visit occasionally.

No, I haven't read The Book Thief yet, but it's one of those books that I'd love to get to eventually... once I've gotten through a mountain of other reading. ;-) Alas, while I'm passionately devoted to books, I can't read everything that people think I should, and am left feeling that I need to justify why I haven't read something yet. *whimper* (In fact, I've been so stressed lately that I can't even focus on reading, and that drives me up the wall ( ... )
