In the ideal world you want good plot and characters but if I hate the characters, I disengage from the plot however good it might be. So yes I agree with that. For me internet shopping is the only way to get the Indie books I want. I like paperbacks as hardbacks are too expensive and take up too much shelf space.chucklesthescothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09423562114343636659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-38297400689240871712017-03-01T06:48:16.056-07:002017-03-01T06:48:16.056-07:00I still need to finish The Hunger Games movies.

Anyway. I cannot stop reading in the middle of chapters though! I am so impressed that you can! I end up getting annoyed with long-chaptered books for this reason. Totally agree with you about short books and characters over plot! And seriously, I wish I could buy all the books at the physical bookstore, but then I could only own like, one book a year ;) Shannon @ It Starts at Midnighthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10043593641190645773noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-83576632626585027202017-02-24T18:53:19.971-07:002017-02-24T18:53:19.971-07:001.

My reading choices aren't for everyone. <br />An Equal Music - Vikram Seth.<br />7. Mongo: Adventures in Trash - Ted Botha<br />8. Ozone Journal - Peter Balakian <br />9. I bought a bag-full at a used bookstore's going-out-of-business sale. Picking one: The Bridge - Gay Talese.<br />10. A pen. Meh.<br />11. Yes. But not so much in the future, unfortunately. (see 9)<br />12. Poetry, mystery, crime.<br />13. Borrow from the library usually. Sometimes buy.<br />14. Both? <br />15. Short or shortish. <br />16. Short.<br />17. On the Road - Jack Kerouac, City of Night - John Rechy, The Year of Silence - Madison S. Bell.<br />18. Neither? I read mostly books by and / or for men. But I'm too cynical to read a lot of humor. I suppose I'm more likely to get the feels than the giggles.<br />19. Ours. <br />20. No. I've bought 5 audio books and only 3 had all the chapters. Even the replacement for one of them was missing several chapters. I can't fathom how this happens. <br />21. Yes. Of course.<br />22. I don't even know of any book-to-TV adaptations. Unless mini-series count. So book-to-movie.<br />23. The Trial. Both movie versions are better than the book.<br />24. Stand-alones.
