Groups1001 Books to read before you die

About meI have stolen this from my friend Nicole, but I think it is an Awesome challenge:

What's In a Name Challenge!
6 books between 1/1/09 and 12/31/09

1. A book with a "profession" in its title.
The Wordy Shipmates (by Sarah Vowell)

2. A book with a "time of day" in its title.
The Friday Night Knitting Club (by Kate Jacobs) 2/09

3. A book with a "relative" in its title.

4. A book with a "body part" in its title.

5. A book with a "building" in its title.
One Fifth Avenue (by Candace Bushnell)4/16/09
The Glass Castle (by Jeannette Walls) 9/30/09

6. A book with a "medical condition" in its title.
Queen of Babble Gets Hitched (by Meg Cabot) 3/22/09-if you have ever been a babbler, and seen how much trouble you can get in, you would consider it a "medical condition"!

I have joined the group "1001 Books to Read Before You Die" and this is what I have read so far. I must say that I was sad to see my favorite "The Fountainhead" did not make the cut, but EVERYTHING by Hemingway did.

About my libraryMy library is made up of books I own and books I check out from my local library. Even though I know I should pass my books "on", I just love them too much and tend to keep them all. I do loan them out happily, but rarely get rid of them completely. Eventually, I will run out of space and then I will purge a bit, but until then, I love being surrounded by them all!
