I also have to read--even for only a few minutes--before I go to sleep. I love the cover--I'm sure if you flash one like that you get a few looks! Books are such a wonderful escape and when a book transforms us and stays with us...that's magic. Great post! I also have to read–even for only a few minutes–before I go to sleep.

I would read that book. I'm still trying to talk myself into this one, though: <a href="http://www.amazon.com/Working-Stiff-Misadventures-Accidental-Sexpert/dp/0060876123" rel="nofollow">this</a> (did the linking work!?) Why do most people try to hide what they are reading?! You ARE cool!

A friend of mine reads those ridiculous romances with the Fabio style covers. She's so embarrassed by them that she covers them with a homemade book cover so people can't see what she's reading.
