My problem is that I have a hard time reeading a little, and then coming back a week later and reading more. I have to immerse myself into the story and read it all in one or two days.. a week, tops.

I got hooked last summer. You check out one at the library, it's so good that you have to buy it. Then same with the next one, and the next one, and the next one! yep--sounds about right

I know what you mean Leda...I've been trying to finish the 'Bounty Hunter Wars Trilogy' for the last three months...it's not that great plus many more books have been read in between these three books...I have to keep up with the new releases and TJA bookclub ;D! But when I go back to the trilogy books, it's hard to rember what had happened.

A great point about choosing books was brought up by Jan.
What if you want to pick a book out of the kid's series (Jedi Apprentice, Jedi Quest, Last Of The Jedi, Boba Fett) as your book for the month?
If you chose a kid's book you can actually pick three books in a row since they are such short reads (you can finish a book in under 2 hours!).

I read the first three to the Jedi Apprentice series in 2 hours myself. So they are very easy to go threw.

I had checked out the Jedi Apprentice books from the library...loved them so much I have to buy them (imagine that !). Some of them are so expensive to buy. The cheapest I could find for some of the titles (like #18) were over $20 per book...that's quadruple the price they were brand new! The entire sets were going for over $300 for all 18 books...that's nuts! These prices were for used copies on half.com, e bay & amazon.com. Says alot about how great this series is when you have to sell a kidney just to get a used book Jenny

Hmmm..if you'd bought a second set...... 18 books bought brand new @ $5 each = $90 18 books sold now =$300 net profit $210 That's $210 to put towards a new costume, a Convention trip, collectibles....(drool on keyboard!) If we'd only known
