You can still learn things from them as they do take you all over the world, but they are as comfortable as an old shoe. <br /><br />I had read some popular fiction, I Don't Know How She Does it" and "The Nanny Diaries" come to mind, but mostly I stuck to my light-hearted mysteries.<br /><br />About three years ago I decided to step out of my comfort zone and I joined an online book club, and mostly I read what ever they pick, and I have helped to bring a couple of books into the club as well. <br /><br />http://www.fromlefttowrite.com/<br /><br />We read mostly fiction, memoirs, and the occasional "chick lit". <br /><br />I find I like popular fiction the best, and oh, what I have missed throughout the years! I will certainly check out Wicked!Emilyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17093779543962252260noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196908370614674789.post-1030343804404296672011-05-28T07:30:17.466-04:002011-05-28T07:30:17.466-04:00I have a little of the same attitude and I'm a...I have a little of the same attitude and I'm always late to catch up on a 'new' trend.jabbloghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12176958811589489979noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196908370614674789.post-68564324100727734702011-05-28T06:41:31.094-04:002011-05-28T06:41:31.094-04:00I turned my back on the 'classics' after b...I turned my back on the 'classics' after being made to read them at school and then forced to disect them. I wanted to read and enjoy, not be forced to learn from them. <br /><br />Many years after I left scnool I saw a fortnighly series called the great writers which contained a book and a magazine about the author and now I have the entire 55 book set and I've read about half of them. <br /><br />I still think some of them suck (Lord Jim & Little Women for instance), but now I can just read them without being forced to 'understand' or disect them for 'meaning'.Martin Willoughbyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05605554706836638988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196908370614674789.post-24543783775364649972011-05-27T23:36:10.931-04:002011-05-27T23:36:10.931-04:00I LOVED the musical but couldn't finish the bo...I LOVED the musical but couldn't finish the book...can't wait to here what you think about the restkisatrtlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08831014017505568022noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3196908370614674789.post-18205452648423567152011-05-27T22:07:20.554-04:002011-05-27T22:07:20.554-04:00I haven't read it.
