Welcome back to another Freebie Friday, and a post that allows me to slip away from writing about the GQ photo shoot of Glee and touch on more weighty matters. (I guess that's the beauty of a blog -- you can shift between the sacred and the profane in just a few hours.)
First, congratulations to KeelyK, the winner of a copy of "Djibouti" by Elmore Leonard. In her comment, she noted that she had just returned from the library with 11 books! Winning this one may save her aching back -- at least for a few days.
This week's giveaway is "The Masque of Africa: Glimpses of African Belief" by Nobel Prize winner V.S. Naipaul, whom we wrote about earlier today. It's described as a travelogue with a message, a look at the confluence of religious beliefs and development around the continent. Giving it away is a real sacrifice, because I've been a big Naipaul fan ever since reading "A Bend in the River." Maybe I can borrow it from the winner after he or she is finished?
Lastly, here's today's discussion topic -- please leave an answer with your comment. How many books are you reading at the moment? (Include print, audiobooks, e-books and any form that you have open. And you don't have to count that 800-page biography that has been sitting on your nightstand for 15 months.)
