I'm an avid reader and thankful for it as my other activities have come to a halt.I refuse to engage with anyone or anything that has been shoving the malignant narcissist down our throats for the past 9 years.Just finished The Bee Sting(Paul Murray) and starting
Southern Man, Greg Iles latest.
Absolutely! My favorites are always science fiction. But my parents left behind a large collection of presidential biographies and many WWII books. Hope they'd be happy I'm reading them. Dad served in WWII, so that collection was very personal to them. I'm currently reading one on Teddy Roosevelt.
You could call me "bookish". I used to be a voracious reader, but have since turned into a voracious audio book consumer as life demands stack up. Sometimes audio books have a fantastic narrator who help elevate the story over what I would have read. A lot of the time they are bad and I DNF.
Absolutely. I just finished Timothy Snyder’s On Freedom and I’m about to start The Demon of Unrest: A Saga of Hubris, Heartbreak, and Heroism at the Dawn of the Civil War by Erik Larson. I read history mostly but like 1920’s lit too.
Haven't read those yet, but "The Fervor" is also very good. It's a horror story set in a WWII Japanese internment camp, & "The Deep" takes place during the Titanic/Brittanic sinkings.

Anthony Doerr run neck and neck for best books I've read in the past few years.
I have a e-book collection I've built since 2009 that is embarrassing. I seriously shouldn't buy anymore for the rest of my life. But if you are a reader, you know there are never enough books, ever.
I got my first kindle in 2010, and the paperwhite perhaps eight years ago. I borrow 50% of my books from the library and the other 50% from kindle unlimited. My taste varies from the classics to murder mysteries and action novels. I just finished the Box 88 series by Charles Cummings.
Me… I’m bookish. I like mysteries, psychological suspense, paranormal and light horror. Well honestly a little of everything. i love reading and writing.
Same here, except perhaps, paranormal, I have difficulty suspending belief. But, give me a writer whose words make me catch my breath and compel me to read the sentence over and over, then the genre doesn't matter. It's the brilliance that captures me and fills me with awe.
