Which title that you HAVEN'T read has been gathering dust on your book shelf the longest? Why haven't you read it yet?

Handmaiden's Tale by Atwood. I was given this book by a friend years ago and I never read it. I think I started to read it, but wasn't interested. I think I always thought I may pick it up again, but I never did.

"Congo" by Michael Crichton. Don't know why I never get to it - I've read others of his & liked them. Maybe next time I go on a trip I'll take it along?

Liz, Congo is a Crichton book I read last year & enjoyed very much!


My Gathering Dust TBR is a non-f "Diamond: The History of a Cold-Blooded Love Affair" about the diamond business.

I got Memoirs Of A Geisha for Christmas and haven't read it yet. Twenty-three days, that's a record for me. But I've just been busy reading too many library books to sit down and crack the cover. I figure I OWN that one, so I have plenty of time to get to it, right?

I've had the Rule of Four on my bookshelf for quite a while. I started it but only read about 10 pages and couldn't get into it.

I'd have to say Roses are Red by James Patterson.
