Booking Through Thursday (On Wednesday)

by JM

marblebookends.jpgHello, everyone. In case some of you are unfamiliar what I do on these discussion pieces, I went back to the beginning of Booking Through Thursday and am using those prompts. I’m hoping it will spark discussion here on site as well as attention for BTT for those who don’t know about it.

On to the questions!

Some people are like my uncle, and they read four or five books a week, every week. Some are like my father, and read four or five books in a year.

1. How many books do you read in a week? Month? Year?
2. What’s the best book or series of books you’ve read so far this year?
3. What’s the worst book you read this year? Did you finish it?

I’ve known a lot of people who go through books like nobody’s business. They read as much as often as possible.

Personally, I can be like that too, but it depends if I have an active writing work in progress going. I’m not keen on reading much when I’m working on a novel. You don’t want to subconsciously (or consciously, in some cases) ‘borrow’ things from the book you’re reading.

As far as the best book or series of books I’ve read so far this year… Well, seeing as it’s the beginning of the year, I’m going to read back and say Ender’s Game. I couldn’t read for a few days after reading that book because I had to sit and think about it and what it meant to me.

The worst book I read was Turtle Feet, Surfer’s Beat. Like I said in the review, she has a great cause so the book shouldn’t book you off supporting her. I just plain didn’t like the book.

I did finish it, though. I’m one of those people who doesn’t like not finishing a book. I’ve read some really bad ones in my time, but I always finish.
