So kudos to you. The first chapter of this book sounds very interesting though. If you are looking to be even more selective of what you read you might be interested in Read-It-First.com. They feature some pretty good books every week and chapters are emailed to you. That way you get a sneek peak of the book before you commit it to your TBR pile.<br /><br />Have a great one.Bookventureshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16533767618250098740noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-68047093169742825092011-04-26T20:55:25.309-04:002011-04-26T20:55:25.309-04:00Like you, I've been trying to be more selectiv...Like you, I've been trying to be more selective about books I read.<br />I'm glad you enjoyed Easter Parade.I hope you enjoy Disturbing the Peace too.Mishahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06987790171985663765noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-64497408294878433002011-04-26T15:50:59.999-04:002011-04-26T15:50:59.999-04:00I have not read this book, but the opening paragra...I have not read this book, but the opening paragraph would keep me reading.Nise' https://www.blogger.com/profile/15586400022454009379noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-77704446344193201802011-04-26T15:24:26.414-04:002011-04-26T15:24:26.414-04:00Certainly sounds worth reading from the introducti...Certainly sounds worth reading from the introduction.<br />This is the intro from my current read:<br />http://the-book-addict.blogspot.com/2011/04/first-paragraph-first-chapter-tuesday.htmlTracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070070360087765540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-51335996723356805062011-04-26T13:59:20.516-04:002011-04-26T13:59:20.516-04:00I am also being more selective about what I read, ...I am also being more selective about what I read, and really, we should read what we enjoy.

When I'm 'in between' books and don't have a preference one way or another, I'll take a stack off my TBR shelf and just read the opening paragraphs of all of them and the one that appeals to me the most at that time is the one I'll keep reading. <br /><br />Your pick here sounds like a good one. I have Revolutionary Road waiting for me that I'd like to get to soon. But I probably won't be participating this week, as I am still finishing up Paris to the Moon, which I used for last week's Tuesday Intro.Trishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18273468231529654323noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-87095023712598233742011-04-26T08:52:42.263-04:002011-04-26T08:52:42.263-04:00Hmmmmm, makes me want to know what's up!Hmmmmm, makes me want to know what's up!Brian's Home Bloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08809631273441407139noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7964305665370254420.post-85529637968118342772011-04-26T08:46:29.258-04:002011-04-26T08:46:29.258-04:00This one sounds interesting.
