Randomness (Book Meme)

So I discovered Rhinoa's Ramblings blog and saw a really interesting meme. She's tagging anyone who wants to do this meme. She saw it on Nymeth's blog, Things mean a lot, who saw it on Trish's blog, Trish's reading nook.... So here I am. From what I've read this is an old meme.

Hi! Thanks for visiting my blog :) Looks like we have similar feelings on Paulo Coelho and Dan Brown :P

Just curious, how come you wouldn't want to read "Life of Pi"? I haven't read that one, but I've had countless people tell me I should.

I have tried to read it over and over again, but I just haven't been able to get into it. I'm a moody reader so if there's a next time, I'm just going to wait for the "want" to read it comes and then try it again.
