Tolkien. The movies are good too, but nothing beats the books.<BR/><BR/>I love to read in nature on a quiet place and... on the toilet!<BR/><BR/>I never disturb anyone reading a book, because I hate it if someone disturbs me when I'm reading!<BR/><BR/>I'd like to travel back to a lot of times. I love history, so seeing it for real would be great!<BR/><BR/>I find books in all kinds of ways: internet (TT gave me a lot of new writers!), recommendations from people I know have a similar taste, etc.<BR/><BR/>If an author was going to make me into a character for a book, I'd love to be the witch I am. :-)<BR/><BR/>When writing draft for your Thursday Thirteen, the theme comes first.<BR/><BR/>Fun list!

Hmmm....to answer a few though: <BR/><BR/>My favorite book of all time is To Kill a Mockingbird. <BR/><BR/>I'd love to meet Joe Morelli from the Stephanie Plum books because he's so sexy on paper, he'd have to be better in real life! <BR/><BR/>I love to read Blogger reviews of books...that is the biggest help for buying books!! <BR/><BR/>Happy TT!Stephaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05055676171075203563noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30899294.post-47948675234732893152007-04-05T13:47:00.000-05:002007-04-05T13:47:00.000-05:001.

Holden Caulfied of Catche...I'll answer some: :)<BR/>1. Holden Caulfied of Catcher in the Rye, Little Prince of Little Prince, the leading men in Haruki Murakami's books. <BR/>2. Alice in Wonderland comes to mind right now. Just to ask how exciting really are her adventures.<BR/>3. All Haruki Murakami books.<BR/>4. On the sofa.<BR/>5. Smile and ask how's the reading so far.<BR/>6. 1500, 1600 those times, I dunno why.<BR/>7. Chicklit, literary fiction, mystery<BR/>8. Research outline/plot. I need to know where to start and how it will flow.<BR/>9. I tend to go and see books reviewed by credible writers but I buy based on my browsing. :)<BR/>10. Howard Roark (The Fountainhead) meets Veronika (Veronika Decides to Die).<BR/>11. The Wind-up Bird Chronicle of H. Murakami, a happy reunion for Toru and Kumiko.<BR/>12. A successful novelist perhaps. <BR/>13. All of them. <BR/><BR/>Bonus: Theme first. :) <BR/><BR/>Oh, I answered them all. Had fun doing this.

I can't even BEGIN to answer all of this before the kids rip each other's heads off... <BR/><BR/>BUT when I see someone reading a book I read and loved, I'll stop to ask them how they're doing with it and if they like it as much as I did. Especially if I have a funny story, like the woman at dance who was reading a JA Konrath book; I met him last summer. Always fun to connect with other readers. <BR/><BR/>Happy TT!

I'd probably go over an ask them what they thought of it, but I don't know if I'd tell them I wrote it. <BR/><BR/>I love to read in the bathtub. It's my ME time. :)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12777733587200293442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30899294.post-82546859979273063072007-04-05T05:58:00.001-05:002007-04-05T05:58:00.001-05:00oops! wrong link! my TT is here:http://jendavid.br...oops! wrong link! my TT is here:<BR/><BR/>http://jendavid.bravejournal.com/entry/21858jennyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765878695299230874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30899294.post-36143723693607097532007-04-05T05:58:00.000-05:002007-04-05T05:58:00.000-05:00those are fantastic questions but sad to say, I am...those are fantastic questions but sad to say, I am not into ready books...tsk tsk tsk!Happy TT!jennyrhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10765878695299230874noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30899294.post-27645153647176944512007-04-05T05:52:00.000-05:002007-04-05T05:52:00.000-05:00LOL! To your bonus question--see my TT. :)1. Har...LOL! To your bonus question--see my TT. :)<BR/><BR/>1. Harry Dresden, Susan Sto Helit, Lymond, ARGH. too many to name.<BR/>2. See above. <BR/>3. It all depends on my mood, but even then, I couldn't pick just one. <BR/>4. I showed you that last week. :)<BR/>5. Ask how they liked it. <BR/>6. No clue. I don't have a special affinity for any particular time period. <BR/>7. Romance and fantasy.<BR/>8. Research--I always go read the Amazon reviews before writing my own.<BR/>9. Recommendation. My TBR pile and my must-buy lists are too big to take chances.<BR/>10. LOL--I'll take those last two. <BR/>11. The events in Narcissus in Chains would all be a dream. LOL<BR/>12. A spy/assassin. Definitely. I always wanted to be one. <BR/>13. I think for me, it's all about the writing. If it's written well, I connect with the characters, and the plot logically flows from the characters, as does the dialogue and humor or emotion.Darlahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08346619210375248680noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30899294.post-64454228833636189442007-04-05T03:32:00.000-05:002007-04-05T03:32:00.000-05:00Yay!

Excellent list.<BR/>My all time favorite book is Sense and Sensibility by Jane Austen.<BR/>I mostly read mysteries and drama or plays.<BR/>Right now the only time I have to read is while I'm waiting to pick my daughter up from school, which is only about 20mins worth, but how relaxing to get into a good book!<BR/>I usually for my T13, have a theme in mind first.<BR/>Have a great Thursday and Happy TT!<BR/>~Christine<BR/>www.arewethereyetmom.comAnonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17239088554458993993noreply@blogger.com
