| If someone was to write an analysis of you by the books you have in your possession, what would it say about you? Would a stranger or even a friend recognize you by the book titles? Books! They're everywhere. I did an inventory for this blog. Every John Grisham novel, almost all of Jan Karon's-both local or sometimes local people. A lot of Nicholas Sparks and Mark Twain. Westerns. Books about the West and The American Indian. The Harvard Classics. Best sellers and book club selections from the 90s." How To" books, craft books, health and medical books, electronics and do it yourself books. Probably 4 dozen cookbooks. Then there are diet and exercise books. A set of World Book Encyclopedia from the 1950's.Old dictionaries. Picture books and atlases. Children's books. Lots of children's books. Bibles, religious books. Poetry books and old text books are packed away, out of sight. Women's lit. Historical fiction. A few Sci-Fi, few if any horror or fantasy. we do have the Harry Potter series. A few art books. What does this say about me? We like our local authors. We like food. We repent and then need to diet and exercise. We have a variety of tastes in reading. My dad has always liked westerns. It's a fairly new genre for me, but I'm into it now. I like history, so those are mine. I read the religious books, always exploring new ways of thinking or dealing with life. We, that includes my late mother and brothers, like to do things ourselves or know how things work. so that's why the how-to books, which include fishing, hunting, and growing plants, as well as home repairs. I sew and crochet; my mom also quilted, so I still have her books. As for children's books, we have seven children age 10 and under who visit us on a regular basis. When we can get one of them to sit still and read a book, we are happy. We're happy when we sit still and read! |
