Yea I would like that kind of decor as well later on :P

I started reading "Percy Jackson" yesterday - so far it's good :)
In the movies he seems older though, in the book Percy is just 12.

Yea maybe! Also maybe to aim for a larger target group?

I am SO far behind on listing what all I've been reading this year. Ended up with a number of boxes of books given to me (moving another Elder), and they all had to be gone through and sorted and either integrated into the books here, or sold/gifted away (there were a surprising number of duplicates), and since so many of them I wasn't familiar with, that meant reading a BUNCH in a very short time.
I had no idea how rusty my Spanish was.... I've been putting off most of those books 'till last. There are a bunch of plays and poem collections in Spanish in one box, and some biographies, too, it looks like.
Then there's about half a shelf of works in Japanese which surprises me because I'm pretty sure the person whose books these were did not actually know any Japanese. But they look like working reference books (mostly on oceanography, Antarctica, and the atmosphere conditions in the 50's through the 70s), as best I can figure out from some painstakingly difficult translation searches online, so I guess that Elder had a whole slew of stories we never learned... not sure what I'm going to do with those ones, yet.

I'm really ready to read some light fiction again, though! There's been a lot of math and science books lately, and some very depressing history, and I want something that will make me smile.

Any of you have something to recommend for LIGHT reading? (not physics books about the properties of light, please. I have a shelf full of those already. It's not a pun. I just want something to lighten the mood).

Wow, that sounds indeed super interesting! Would have been great to learn why this person had all these books..

light read... For that I would always recommend some kind of coming-of-age story or romance. But I don't have anything in particular in mind :o

You can do it jacob, sooner or later xD

At work I had a few moments when I could read :)

Percy Jackson is a lot of fun actually.
