I just love Maxine. Sometimes she just so says what I'm thinking.
One other thing I'm thinking about this election: why can no one give a straight answer to a question? It's not just JOhn McCain and Barack Obama...it's all of them!
Here we go again. I think my voted is based on who is the scarier nominee for vice president.

Has a book ever fundamentally changed the way you see life? If yes, what was it?
I would say Exodus by Leon Uris and To Kill A Mockingbird by Harper Lee. Although they both showed the very worst of mankind, they also showed the best. When I read these books I hadn't learned about the way we treated African Americans or that a million Jews were exterminated. It was very shocking.
How do you choose a book? eg. by cover design and summary, recommendations or reviews
All of the above and I also read the first few pages to see if I'll like it
Do you prefer Fiction or Non-Fiction?
Fiction
What’s more important in a novel - beautiful writing or a gripping plot?

Which book or books can be found on your nightstand at the moment?
Paddy Clarke Ha Ha Ha and Sole Survivor
What was the last book you’ve read, and when was it?
I finished reading A Separate Peace yesterday
Have you ever given up on a book half way in? Many times...life is too short to stick with a book that doesn't interest me

 You are always up for a celebration. You are a very festive person. You look forward to every holiday, and you are nostalgic for good times after they're over. You appreciate the small things that make life special. You love little treats. You often look at the world with childlike wonder. There's so much to enjoy! |
