Have a new hobby?
I'm going to read five books on every U.S president... although I heard that some presidents are too boring to have five books on. If there's one book on the boring ones, that's good enough for me. :)

1. That's an interesting goal. :)
I'm trying to catch up on some reading myself... but all fiction (most of the sci-fi variety.). It's nice to finally have access to a decent library. And all I had to do was move over a thousand miles to get it! :)

2. What kind of science fiction?
I've wanted to get around to reading the Dune series someday. I have the first four. :D

3. Actually, that's one of the things I picked up.
I've never read any of the Dune books, so I picked up the first one. Haven't had a chance to start it yet, been too busy with schoolwork and finishing up other books. :P

4. Bird-watching.
Lots of waterfowl where I live now, and I'm discovering a nascent interest.

5. I'm thinking about taking up crack-smoking. Or maybe surgery.

7. For the Millard Filmore books: take a lot of speed
You'll need it to get through them.

8. Why 5 ?
That's a lot of books!

Would you like a brand new, never been opened, copy of Clinton's autobiography? eBay won't even take it. LOL

9. Does DU count?
Actually it's more like an addiction than a hobby.
