Anything I choose to read, is because it sounds interesting to me. I have found myself enjoying historical fiction more recently though. It's a good combination.

I do enjoy getting lost in a story, but sometimes the authors go a bit over the top for sure. I need to check out some nonfiction books soon!<br />Stopping by from LBS, it's nice to meet you!Missyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00079070307989823081noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-68423352972993146982011-08-27T07:16:16.217-05:002011-08-27T07:16:16.217-05:00Webb,

I usually take a couple of fiction books with me when I go on vacation.<br /><br />Amy,<br />Searching for what to read next was why I started paying attention to blogs in the first place. I have to mention another great resource I use for discovering nonfiction titles is Kim’s blog Sophisticated Dorkiness. <br /><br />MJ,<br />If you do read Bryson let me know what you think. I have read quite a few of his books some I love others were just okay.<br /><br />Grace,<br />I love your book recommendations. I have never been a big science fiction reader. I bet you could recommend a couple of good selections to get me started.<br /><br />Kim,<br />I am really enjoying BAND. Thanks for organizing it. I am finally meeting other nonfiction book bloggers.<br /><br />Pam,<br />I haven’t read “A Short History of Nearly Everything” I think it is time.Savvyworkinggalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08159197609419858161noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-39781234985198817602011-08-26T21:11:13.613-05:002011-08-26T21:11:13.613-05:00I am a lover of both Bill Bryson and Stephen Ambro...I am a lover of both Bill Bryson and Stephen Ambrose.

I do have to say that "Wof Hall" nearly turned me off English history entirely. Not surprisingly, I love to read and write science fiction.Grace.https://www.blogger.com/profile/03557395027685855901noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34866775.post-13736598387279746392011-08-25T10:18:49.268-05:002011-08-25T10:18:49.268-05:00I keep seeing people mention Bill Bryson.

I use fiction to escape, and am not the least bit picky about it - well, as long as it's suspense or mystery.<br /><br />Some day I will tackle non-fiction, just not today!webbhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15168174623602308906noreply@blogger.com
