I’m always wishing I had more time for reading. I try to plan reading time sometimes; if I have a day off I’ll tell myself that I’m going to do nothing but read all day. It doesn’t usually pan out, though – real life has a way of intruding, with its errands, crisises, and the occasional unplanned nap.

How is everyone coming along with the book? Are we ready to discuss yet? I am going to move Anya’s questions in the comment section of the previous thread to this main post.
Recognizing that people are at different stages of reading, I thought I would start with a few basic questions for our readers:

My husband has always been easy to buy gifts for at Christmas time. He always has a long list of books he wants to read- or he’s happy with a gift card from the local book store. The first year he asked for a book store gift card, I wasn’t keen on the idea. I felt like that was not much of a unique gift. He explained to me that having a gift card gave him a certain sense of freedom to go crazy in the book store and purchase books he might not buy on his own.

Like many Bay Area residents, I have never forgotten the awful events that occurred in April 1989 in the Sonoma County wine country. Winery worker Ramon Salcido went on a rampage, shooting two co-workers (killing one), shooting his wife to death, and slashing to death his mother-in-law and his wife’s two young sisters, ages 8 and 12. Salcido’s three young daughters were missing for 36 hours before they were found in a Petaluma garbage dump. Four-year-old Sofia and one-year-old Teresa were dead, but by some miracle two-year-old Carmina had survived her throat being cut. She told rescuers, “Daddy cut me.”

I love to read; I have for as long as I can remember. I still recall, for some reason, a lazy Saturday I spent sitting in a rocking chair in our living room, eating cottage cheese and reading Edward Eager’s Half-Magic, though it occurred more than 30 (!) years ago at this point. I also vividly remember my first reading of Madeline L’Engle’s A Wrinkle in Time.

You’ve been there. You’ve stayed up into the wee hours of the morning to read a scary novel. You want to put it down, but you just can’t; it holds you in a cold sweaty grip that just won’t loosen. Halloween is almost here and we would like you to tell us about the books that creeped you out and kept you awake at night. What story lingers in your consciousness like an unpleasant dream?
