those harlequin romance ones....ugh!
:agreed: Forgot about them.

Yeah, it is interesting.
As for what I won't read...I don't like Stephen King. I tried to start IT three times, and always got bogged down a few pages in. I have read a few others of his, but that one was it for me. Hah, no pun intended.
Bios were mentioned above, I like some...Speak, Memory Vladimir Nabokov's autobio was fascinating, and I have some more around here that I have dabbled in, and enjoy. Bette Davis, John Nash, and two of Virginia Woolf. I think reading an authors bio helps in understanding their work.
I don't like true crime though, it is way too explicit and gory for my taste, and I don't read too much sci-fi, and don't care for fantasy at all.

Only if you share.

Chocolate? Did I hear the Magic Word??
Yes, Cadbury's is good, I like the plain milk chocolate bars, with a nice glass of cold, black, strong coffee to wash it down.
Milky Ways are fine too though.
And I've had the orange chocolate....yum.
Think I'll go and get a milky way right now.

Ah, now lending.....a friendly thing to do. However I have had unfortunate experiences with lending, so try to avoid it. If I do lend a book, I count it as gone in my mind.
I do enjoy giving someone a book I know they will enjoy though. Almost as good as getting one myself.

Has "anyone" read any of the books on my list or am I a misfit.
You're a total misfit. You probably give anonymously to charity, are kind to others, love Sophia's legs, and like to drink wine that's on sale too. What the hell's wrong with you anyways?
:rofl:

I keep them all.
Well, I occasionally give friends books, but only friends I know will take care of them.

Have you guys read his non-serial latest? White Dove in Morning I think that is it....I am half way through, and can't find it at the moment. :oops: I, um, rearranged some in here. :grr:

I think Pelican Brief was my favorite. I read The Brethern a few years ago and was kind of disappointed. But in general I like his writing. It is nice to read a Southern writer that isn't depressing.
Five facts...
