What type of Paperbacks ya Read

[electriklady]

AAAAAHHHHHH,
a topic you and I cannot totally disagree on



I usually read a book a week.....I love to read.....My favorite store in the world is Barnes and Noble and I could spend days in there, I actually have to limit my visits to the store as I always "go crazy" buying books.

I never limit myself on what I read, I read bestsellers, fiction, non-fiction, horror, (not into romance novels too much though), poetry, classic literature, self help, you name it......I read it. Both of my parents loved to read, as did my brother, and my sister does too....I had hoped my children would be gifted with the love of reading,,,,,,but......they seem to have little interest. My grandson on the other hand seems to be learning to love it. hooray.

In college I took quite a few literature courses and was hooked. I love to read Shakespeare, Nathanial Hawthorne, Emily Bronte, Sophacles, Arthur Miller, with authors like Shakespeare, Hawthorne, or Sophacles it is challenging to read and comprehend.....as it is not written in today's language........which makes it all the more fantastic to read. The Sonnets of William Shakespeare are some of the most beautiful writings in the world to read, but also very difficult to decipher, I had to learn to read them, by reading them over and over again, and they are not something you can read fast and disgest at the end. I absolutely love poetry, and dabble in writing it........was actually published at the age of 17

and I have a hard time getting rid of a book once I read it.

A thread near and dear to my heart, I myself wonder if many people like to read or not, not a topic you bring up in everyday conversation.

..............and I rarely buy anything in paperback.....a hardcover bound book is like a treasue to me

Just finished an interesting book "Empire of the Summer Moon". The story of the rise and fall of the Comanches. This should be of special interest to Texans

Just finished "Deception Point" by Dan Brown, author of "The Da Vinci Code". Fast and fun read. Most of the time I keep 2 or 3 extra books with me everyweek and try to read at least 1. A man who doesnt read is no better off in life than a man who cant read.
