Have you ever gotten a book only to discover it is part of a series? And now have to hunt down the rest of the books? Or better yet the book you found is like the 3rd in a series?

I write in books I own. Highlight, underline, make notes, dog ear pages, etc. Only in my own books. I see books as interactive LOL

I used to read voraciously, then stopped for some years and now are just taking it up again. I generally like non fiction such as bios, historical, gay history and art/photography. However I recently read Stone Butch Blues after years of hearing about it from other people and found it to be a pretty good read.

I love Bastard Out of Carolina by Dorothy Allison, if you haven't read it, I would recommend it.

Having realized the emptiness in my life, I've turned inward again and sought out what I've been missing. Books. Beautiful Books.
I started writing here yesterday, a long and luscious tale of my reading history and habits, and then did a keystroke (ctrl U) that erased it all and put me into a page of Visual Basic code. I whined. I thought I'd type it all from the start again, and then, decided against it. It must have been erased for a reason. So here I am. All that good writing, gone to waste. My most recent read was The Lovely Bones which had succeeded in captivating me, although it's fiction. That is, until the last few chapters, when the author decided to take a nose-dive and ruin the lovely path created. I felt cheated, disrespected. A good writer knows the ending to a story is paramount. As a writer myself, I've learned: Don't freak out. Take a break. Come back later. Re-read what you've already written. Finally, decide how the conclusion needs to go to hold the reader to the last period in the book. This author took a sharp left and drove right off the cliff. I need something new to read now. Something non-fiction again. Something timeless. Any suggestions?

Evening,y'all. I received an awesome book for Christmas,"The Bicycle Diaries" by David Byrne,the founder of The Talking Heads. It is a chronicle of his travels by bike in cities all around the world.After stuffing my face with half the food in Tennessee,I am about to crash on the couch and delve into it.I just finished "Alone" a biography of Sir Winston Churchill that covered 1938 to 1940 or so of his career and life.Excellent read! But what book about the Lion of Britain isn't? Have a great weekend y'all! Shad

I also got a book for Christmas.....
The Lost Continent ~ Travels in Small-Town America by Bill Bryson The little blurb at the top says "The kind of book Steinbeck might have written if he'd traveled with David Letterman instead of Charlie the poodle." That was enough for me! lol |

I read all the time. In fact, I get nervous if I'm down to my last book and almost finished with it, but still didn't pick up anymore to read. I take a book with me when I'm the passenger in a car or going somewhere I know will require a long wait. When I'm at the VA Hospital with R, there's an area with free books and I'm always looking to see if I can take a few home. I like used book stores, book exchanges and the library. I like authors that do series books and use the same character, but will read any good whodunnit. My favorite authors are James Patterson, Janet Evanovich, Sue Grafton and Lisa Jackson to name a few. I know there's more, but it's hard to keep their names in my head. Right now I'm reading a Jonathan Kellerman book that isn't built around his favorite character. I'll let you know when I'm finished if I really like it.
