I just love books. They are just like music, TV shows and movies. They are all my favorite drugs. I never can get enough of them. Books take me places that only people can dream about. I would love to be able to write a novel. That's something I've always wanted to do. I can barely write stupid spoofs and really short stories, so I doubt I'll ever be able to write a novel. And when I do go to try and write something, most of the time I can't get what is in my head to come out the right way. I have a ton of great ideas for a novel, but that's about it.
I love to read and I'm glad that I'm able to do that, even though I can't write something for others to read. I love all my favorite authors. I just finished reading White Fire by Douglas Preston and Lincoln Child. I loved it and read it how fast. Usually, I have three to five books going at once and read how many chapters of each, but when a really great book comes along, I read it straight through and the others can wait. I love the Pendergast novels by Preston and Child and Pendergast is my favorite fictional character from any book I've ever read.
I've been reading more lately and watching less TV. TV can only give you so much. I love to read books because then I can imagine the characters as anyone I want them to be. Books have longer stories and sometimes better ones. I love reading series. I've recently read all the Infernal Devices and Mortal Instrument books by Cassandra Clare. I love all the characters in these books and the books were awesome. I love reading Erin Hunter who writes all the Warriors, Seekers, and Survivors books. They are about cats, bears and dogs. I love them even if they are written for young adults. I love a lot of young adult series. There are so many good ones out there.
I can never get enough of the Stephanie Plum books written by Janet Evanovich. I hope she keeps writing them for how much longer. Plus I love her other series that she's started.
I've read over four thousand books since I graduated from High School. I like to write them down just so I know what I've read and how many I've read. I try to read about 100 or more books a year.
I love reading books that are from and based on TV shows. Some of the shows I watch and I read the books as well. Others, I read the books, but have never watched the shows. I recently finished reading the first Grimm novel. It was pretty good and now I'm reading Fringe. I've never watched either of these shows. I used to read all the Alias books, CSI, CSI:Miami and CSI:NY and I never watched any of those shows, but I loved every book I read. I loved reading the Supernatural books, but it looks like no more are going to be written. I'm still reading Star Trek and Star Wars books. I just finished reading Kenobi. I love that Star Wars and Star Trek have lasted this long. They've gone on in books and I love that. Sometimes things don't have to end when the shows and movie are done and over. I remember as a kid thinking up plots and stories for Luke, Leia and Han and I never imagined that now I'd be reading other people's stories about them. I just wish I could have been a good writer because I could have written one of my stories down for others to read and enjoy.
Well that's all for now.
