I find television to be very educating. Every time somebody turns on the set, I go in the other room and read a book.

On Thursday, August 26th, Booking through Thursday asked: If you’re not enjoying a book, will you stop mid-way? Or do you push through to the end? What makes you decide to stop? I try very hard always to finish books. There are some that have slow beginnings, but then surprise me pleasantly once I’m partway [...]
On Thursday, August 5th, Booking through Thursday asked: What is the first book you remember reading? What about the first that made you really love reading? As usual I’m a day late in answering the BTT prompt. Ah, well, I don’t do it to share my link, I do it because I like the questions. [...]
It’s still Wednesday, which means I can still answer last week’s BTT prompt before they post this week’s! On Thursday, July 29h, Booking through Thursday asked: Which fictional character (or group of characters) would you like to spend a day at the beach with? Why would he/she/they make good beach buddies? Despite the fact that [...]
On Thursday, July 8th, Booking through Thursday asked: Do you have friends and family to share books with? Discuss them with? Does it matter to you? When I was little, my mother and I had an unofficial race to see who be the first to read each month’s issue of Ms. Magazine. I usually won, [...]
On Thursday, June 17th, Booking through Thursday asked: Do you prefer reading current books? Or older ones? Or outright old ones? (As in, yes, there’s a difference between a book from 10 years ago and, say, Charles Dickens or Plato.) I read a bit of everything, and go through cycles where I only want period [...]
On Thursday, June 10th, Booking through Thursday asked: Do signed copies excite you? Tempt you? Delight you? Or does it not matter to you? While there are a few authors of whom I am truly a fan, and not just a mere reader, I’m not the type to wait in line all night, so I [...]
Yet again, I am dreadfully late at responding to BTT. On Thursday, May 27th, Booking through Thursday asked: Which do you prefer? Short stories? Or full-length novels? In my world, having nothing to read is just as bad as not taking vitamins. I need to have a book or two near the tub, the toilet, [...]
On Thursday, May 13th, Booking through Thursday asked: Are your book choices influenced by friends and family? Do their recommendations carry weight for you? Or do you choose your books solely by what you want to read? While I’d like to think I make all my own decisions, the reality is that everything I use, [...]
On Thursday, April 29th, Booking through Thursday asked: God* comes to you and tells you that, from this day forward, you may only read ONE type of book–one genre–period, but you get to choose what it is. Classics, Science-Fiction, Mystery, Romance, Cookbooks, History, Business … you can choose, but you only get ONE. What genre [...]
On Thursday, April 15th, Booking through Thursday asked: In general, do you prefer the beginnings of stories? Or the ends? It would be easy to cheat on this and say that one end of a book isn’t much good without the other, but the truth is, I do have a preference. In acne solutions, I [...]
