Read All Day<\/a>. It is simply amazing.<\/p>\nWhat hooked me on her blog is this, excerpted from her September 20, 2009 update about what makes a good book:<\/p>\n
“I usually know within the first few sentences of a book that the writer has the magic to hold me tight while transporting me far away; I know almost right away that I will stick with this author — or NOT — through the whole book, that I am sunk in good and hard no matter whether I am made ecstatic with the journey or uncomfortable with the truth or sad with the reality or turned on by the randy bits and disgusted by the yucky bits, I am there for the duration, and beyond.”<\/p>\n
That’s me exactly. I can tell right away if I am going to like a book. I may decide to read it even if the first few sentences grab me, but I won’t like it very much.<\/p>\n
What about you? Can you tell immediately if you are going to like a book or does it take a while for you to decide? Tell us!<\/p>\n
When I am sick, or on a beach vacation, I can read a book a day. Nothing else is happening though.<\/p>\n
I have enough OCD that if I got started I could keep going.<\/p>\n
I wouldn’t be messing with Facebook anymore. Boy that would be a big loss. Right? Wrong.<\/p>\n
I wouldn’t watch the Dallas Cowboys any more. Yeah, I’m trying to think what I would miss from that.<\/p>\n
It would be the only thing I blog about. Don’t laugh!<\/p>\n
No more geocaching. As Sweetie cheers.<\/p>\n
How about you?<\/p>\n
Could you do it?<\/p>\n
Would you want to do it?<\/p>\n
What would you have to give up?<\/p>\n
