As for the Topic of the Day...
I honestly can't remember the last book I read in it's entirety. -Except for maybe the 2007 Zagat Restaurant Guide for NYC. Sad, but true. Of course, I've continued buying books semi-regularly, but I don't think I've really made a dent in any of them.
The one that immediately comes to mind is Amy Sedaris' "I Like You - Hospitality Under the Influence" which is best taken in snippets and small doses anyway.
Otherwise, the last book I know I read in it's entirety and actually remember and recommend to others is bk's "Writer's Block".
And, yes, I know I have some catching up to do.
