Dark books, but very interesting too!<br /><br />I love reading when I can!Fit Mommyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06942607478554602126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1341672531825270056.post-84283547900305088972010-10-12T06:43:44.141-05:002010-10-12T06:43:44.141-05:00I didn't do this on Stacey's blog.

I never feel as if I have enough time to read and there is no time to back track.<br /><br />I'm Currently Reading: The Corrections by Franzen<br /><br /><br />Author that blows me away with brilliance: Richard Russo comes to mind. I love his turn of phrase, but then there is Ayn Rand.<br /><br />Authors I choose time and time again: I'm fickle.<br /><br />Best books I've read this year: Skipping this one.<br /><br />Could not finish classic: I had this ill-fated goal of reading all the Pulitzer Prize for Literature winners. I hit some road-blocks.<br /><br />Best book I've ever read: The Fountainhead by Ayn Rand, Empire Falls by Richard Russo and all of the Anne of Green Gables books<br /><br />Book that tons of people loved that I hated: I have purposely not read any of the John Grishom books just because EVERYONE has read them. I hate that a book by him can become a bestseller before he has written the first word. And, I am sure he is not the only author like this. Especially if Oprah has anything to do with it.<br /><br />This was a lot of work. One thing I need to do is start a reading journal to keep track of what I have read and what I want to read. Good New Year's resolution.growmyownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01062709167089804021noreply@blogger.com
