At lunch today, with my gift list in hand, I headed to the store and managed to get every gift on my list. I don’t mean THE list, but a list of gifts I needed from that particular store. I’m happy to say that my list included a book or two, in keeping with the Buy Books For The Holidays theme.
This is a complete anomaly for me. I am the one that gets to the store and then wanders around aimlessly while trying to figure out what the heck to buy. I have been known to get a fever while shopping. I get so worked up about it. The parking, the waiting in line, the rude customers, blah blah.
I’d like to share the titles of what I picked up but since the recipients could be reading this I’ll skip that part. Maybe this will be a trend with me and things will be different on Black Friday when I hit the stores with my friends. You think?
As far as your reading, do you have any guilty pleasures? There are times when I do not want to analyze anything but want a good, tight storyline that keeps me interested. These are typically books that I would never pick up otherwise. Not because they are not well written, but just because they are so different than my typical tried and trues. That sounds like an awkward statement, “tried and trues” but that is what I call them.
One of my fave indulgences is any book by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. They’ve written many books together and I’ve liked all of them. Some more than others but as a rule, they are pretty consistent. The first book I tried was Relic. It was later made into a really bad movie but I loved the book. I later enjoyed Riptide and Mount Dragon. Both of which were good.
Another indulgence is anything by Dean Koontz. My fave being Watchers which was also made into a horrible movie with Corey Haim of all people. UGH! What’s up with all the horrible movie adaptations?
‘Fess up. What are some of your guilty pleasures as far as reading is concerned?
