Just can't do it.<BR/><BR/>I read apologetics, biographies, occasional novel (tried a Stephen King this weekend and just couldn't do it!), occasional fantasy novel,occasional mystery. Hate chick lit. Love Dave Barry. Love young adult novels - the well written ones. Still discovering some of the classics. Love C.S. Lewis. His space trilogy rocks.Fleahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03412755038083750088noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34744429.post-2746134430220479202009-03-25T19:49:00.000-04:002009-03-25T19:49:00.000-04:00The one thing my parents gave me was a love of rea...The one thing my parents gave me was a love of reading, I will read anything and everything. My favorites are usually fiction and mysteries being on the top of that list. I am a little embarresed to admit that I could not get enough of the Twilight series, I guess I have a thing for vampires. Oh and yep I definatly cheated at Solitaire it was my game after all.Kimmyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00326039341724180322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34744429.post-51033167214803353372009-03-25T18:58:00.000-04:002009-03-25T18:58:00.000-04:00I read just about everything I can get my hands on...I read just about everything I can get my hands on - my favorite books are American West history (pioneers) and mystery/drama types. I usually prefer fiction over non-fiction.<BR/><BR/>My favorite magazines are Nat Geo and a magazine that's produced by the National Cowboy and Western Heritage Museum in Ok City. It's called "Persimmon Hill" and is loaded with great stories as well as photography, and many pictures and descriptions of what's on display in the former "Cowboy Hall of Fame". That's where I learned that the theme to Gunsmoke actually has words.Stacihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09853546274996763802noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34744429.post-11044187390015052552009-03-25T18:23:00.000-04:002009-03-25T18:23:00.000-04:00I read EVERYTHING.

Once, in German class, there was this cute boy who sat behind me, and I gave him a few answers on a test. I felt so awful about that, and typing it now I still feel ashamed. I did marry that cute boy. I don't think giving him the answers won him over, though, since he never asked me out until two years later.<BR/><BR/>I mostly enjoy fiction. I read some non-fiction, too, but it is hard work most of the time. If it is non-fiction that I'm not extremely interested in, it will put me to sleep within a paragraph or two. I think trying to read boring non-fiction has seriously hampered my book a week goal lately. I'm reading a book about friggin' algebra right now--my second. I'd prescribe this book for any insomniacs out there. I do like reading National Geographic and Smithsonian Magazine. I like a good memoir or biography, but it must be about an interesting person or written in a humorous and entertaining manner. I find history and science very interesting, but some writers really know how to kill the joy of learning about those subjects. <BR/><BR/>Danny very rarely reads fiction and doesn't care much for it at all. He does read a lot, but it is almost exclusively biblical related stuff. Do you know that struggling German student who never read an entire book during high school is quite the biblical Greek scholar?Jennihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08483309441288822407noreply@blogger.com
