Book Meme

My friend Danica tagged me on her blog for a meme about reading. To check out the details, visit her blog at http://www.danicafavorite.blogspot.com/.





So, here are seven things about the way I read...





1) I love a good mystery, especially crime novels.





2) Usually romance novels don't do it for me, but every now and then I find one I really like.





3) I am not a fan of profanity in books or movies. I generally figure authors make inappropriate word choices because they are not clever enough to come up with something better.





4) Because I typically only read for a few minutes before falling asleep at night, it takes me a LONG time to read a book.





5) Too often I find that the most critically acclaimed books are the ones in which I am most dissapointed.





6) I sometimes wonder what it would be like to be the father in the movie "Sabrina," who quit his job and became a chauffeur so he would have more time to read.





7) I like to have books around me, so I keep most of the ones I read. I should probably use the library more often, but item number 4 tells you why that doesn't work out too well for me.
