  • CF has always been a site that welcomes people from different backgrounds and beliefs to participate in discussion and even debate. That is the nature of its ministry. In view of recent events emotions are running very high. We need to remind people of some basic principles in debating on this site. We need to be civil when we express differences in opinion. No personal attacks. Avoid you, your statements. Don't characterize an entire political party with comparisons to Fascism or Communism or other extreme movements that committed atrocities. CF is not the place for broad brush or blanket statements about groups and political parties. Put the broad brushes and blankets away when you come to CF, better yet, put them in the incinerator. Debate had no place for them. We need to remember that people that commit acts of violence represent themselves or a small extreme faction.

How many books are on your TBR Pile?

I have about 200 books that I need to read, actually, probably more...lol :) I buy books because I love books and I love to read, but there is not enough time to read all of the books that I want to read...lol :) We have a big library of books and movies and I just wish there was more time in a day.
I'm like you :D

Awesome. It is wonderful to know that others love books and love to read. Right now I'm thinking of starting to read this little book called: Telling The Truth
The Gospel As Tragedy, Comedy & Fairy Tale by Frederick Buechner... I don't know what to think, but the title makes me curious to start reading.

How many books do you have at your house that you haven't read yet? I keep mine on a particular shelf on my bookcase, but I'm not home right now to count them. I probably have around 30ish.
About 100 give or take 20. The books I haven't read, fill 1 1/2 of the book cases in my library. I'll get to them though. I read a lot.

I have 72 books that I own which I need to read but I just keep checking books out from the library which get top priority. Though one of my new year readolutions was for every 3 library books I read I have to read 1 that I own, so far I have only read 1 that I own and 11 library books.

I work at a library..so uh, I take about 3-4 home every shift. :o

I have countless books that I want to read, but I store them all at the library and just carry around a tiny little checklist.

*checks list*

Stephen King--"The Stand"

Okay, then.

From the library - 2

On my shelf about about - 10 and I keep buying more. I have developed quite an addiction to reading.
I keep saying to my husband, taking me into a bookstore is like taking a drunk into a bar and telling him not to drink! I KNOW I am addicted to books! I LOVE reading. My favorite thing to do.

So many books, so little time! I borrow from the library so feel I need to read those first and return them. But then I read for a book group too so have a deadline for that book which has to fit around whatever else I'm reading. So books waiting to be read on my shelf, about a dozen. In reality my TBR pile is ALL the books I haven't yet read (and would want to).

Books are my big addiction, I get withdrawal symptoms if I haven't a book to hand. I gravitate to bookshelves, I love to handle books and the smell of a new book....heavenly!! Am I the only new book sniffer in the world? I can't be!
