Sharing the Addiction

It's not surprising that a writer would have a love of books. And most bloggers incorporate their love of books into their blogs. This meme helps to inform readers of your reading habits with easy fill-in-the-blank questions.

This lens is part of a project I started on Blogging Memes. It is one of fifty. Want more blogging memes? Then visit the Fifty Memes lens. You'll also find more on intros, tagging and great blogging books.

But first you have some questions to answer!

For the Love of Reading 

Directions: Create a new blog post. Write an introduction. Copy and paste the meme below into your blog, changing the comments to your own. Use the title of this meme in your subject line or create your own. Feel free to tag your friends or not. A link back to this lens would be appreciated.

What have you just read?
I just finished a collection of stories by Laurie Lynn Drummond titled, Anything You Say Can and Will Be Used Against You. The story collection focuses around five female police officers in Louisiana.

What are you reading now?
I just started Lauren Baratz-Logsted book The Thin Pink Line. I consider it mature chic lit as opposed to fluffy chic lit.

Do you have any idea what you'll read when you're done with that?
I have to read a book for Once Written, When Crickets Cry by Charles Martin.

What's the worst thing you were ever forced to read?
The only thing that comes to mind at the moment is Second Sunrise: A Lee Nez Novel.

What's one book you always recommend to just about anyone?
Stephen King's The Stand. I know, I know...

Admit it, sadly the librarians at your library know you on a first name basis, don't they?
Actually, no they don't. The library closed that was near my place. I don't like the location of the new library. Lots of traffic and bad parking.

Is there a book you absolutely love, but for some reason, people never think it sounds interesting, or maybe they read it and don't like it at all?
I'm addicted to Janet Evanovich's Plum Series but people just don't seem to get it. You either love her or you hate her. I can't love her enough.

Do you read books while you eat?
Sometimes.

While you bathe?
No.

While you watch movies or tv?
I like to read during commercials. Never during a movie. That's sacrilegious.

While you listen to music?
I have a specific classical cd that I listen to while reading for long periods of time.

While you're on the computer?
I've been known to read the occasional e-book.

When you were little did other children tease you about your reading habits?
Yes, I was a terribly slow reader. It wasn't until I was 13 and I discovered Robert Zelazny's Amber series that I started to enjoy reading.

What's the last thing you stayed up half the night reading because it was so good you couldn't put it down?
Janet Evanovich Plum Series - #11.

Have any books made you cry?
Lots! Most recently that I can think of: Pomegranate Soup and The Mercy of Thin Air.

I'd Like to Recommend... 

Twilight (The Twilight Saga, Book 1)

Amazon Price: $6.59 (as of 07/12/2009)Buy Now

"As Shakespeare knew, love burns high when thwarted by obstacles. In Twilight, an exquisite fantasy by Stephenie Meyer, readers discover a pair of lovers who are supremely star-crossed. Bella adores beautiful Edward, and he returns her love. But Edward is having a hard time controlling the blood lust she arouses in him, because--he''s a vampire. At any moment, the intensity of their passion could drive him to kill her, and he agonizes over the danger. But, Bella would rather be dead than part from Edward, so she risks her life to stay near him, and the novel burns with the erotic tension of their dangerous and necessarily chaste relationship."

Memes are a great way to get to know people with a short amount of effort on both parts.
