"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us." Franz Kafka
For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.
When is it inappropriate to read in front of others? Is it ever appropriate?
When one invites people over and then reads, I think that is extremely rude. Otherwise I read pretty much everywhere unless I am baby-sitting or entertaining someone.
I read while travelling or waiting. Keeps me busy and also helps in closing the world out.

I agree about not reading when you have company over. But Serena and I do that to each other, maybe because we're more like family and we both are reading while the guys are playing video games.

Aww, I'm sorry you had an empty mailbox. I hope you get some treasures this week.

I agree ---reading in front of others is rude, unless of course they'd like a little quiet time and brought their own book along >>>LOL
I try never to go to appointments or anywhere there might be a wait without a book with me. But if someone is trying to talk to me, I won't read (unless it's my husband - ha ha!)
I agree with what you said!!
I feel more justified to read when my company is all engaged in an activity. I always read over coffee and my friends respect that.
Hopefully you'll get something in the mail this week. Here is mine
I agree with your answer on MM!
Sorry you had a sad mailbox week, hope next week is brighter :-)
Have a great reading week, I'm a huge Tess Gerritsen fan so hope you enjoyed Life Support.
My Musing Monday is about the same as yours!
Hi, here is my answer - a good talking point and I think it can vary depending on who you are with.
I've had weeks with an empty mailbox - sometimes it's a relief *smile*
A good time to play catch up. I would be willing to bet you have something to read anyway. :)
I'd agree with not reading in front of people who are visiting you but I'd make an exception for family. Otherwise I don't know that I could survive the visits. ;-)
How sad to have an empty mailbx. may it be overflowing with good reads this week!
This will be a great week to get caught up on your reading stack.
Good answer to Musing Mondays, I think it would definitely be rude to read in front of guests! My mailbox is at The Crowded Leaf.
I look forward to seeing what you choose to read for this week. Happy reading. My Monday: http://www.rundpinne.com/2010/01/what-are-you-reading-mondays-18-january.html
I agree with your Monday Musings post. Sorry about the empty mailbox. Hopefully next week will be better.
White Picket Fences sounds really good!
Here's my post:

I tend not to read when company is over, unless it is Anna! LOL Like she said we'd rather read in our company than watch boys play football on the wii!
Sorry to hear you didn't get any books, but I'll be remedying that for you shortly.
Reading is a no-no when company is over, unless you're hosting a read-a-thon!
I really want to read Rick Mofina's book, but never found the time.
Have fun reading this week!
