Thanks to Annie for continuing the Tuesday 4. You can join in HERE.
Tuesday 4
Reading is Fundamental
1. What book brought out your emotions and why? Gosh, I can't really think of one specific book because I read all the time and have read so many. I rarely cry while reading a book but many historic mysteries and detective puzzles do make me not want to put the book down before figuring it out. I don't read many soupy love stories or sad books. Reading is an escape for me and I like my stories to have good endings and be entertaining with well-thought-out characters and plot development.
2. How has reading changed your life both for good or for bad? What you get out of it? As mentioned above, reading is entertainment for me. I have loved reading since first grade. How has reading changed my life? I can't answer that because I have always read books. My life would probably be different had I NOT been an avid reader but I can't put my finger on a specific good or bad life-changing moment that stands out.
3. What character(s) do you love and which do you hate and why? Again, too many to cull.
4. What book or books do you think everyone should read once in their lifetime? Other than the Bible, Brave New World, Animal Farm, and 1984 would all wake a few people up who haven't already read them.
I think I've lived 'enough life' (that) I run from the thought of soupy love stories. It's been a while since I've found something I hate to put down, but hope springs eternal (lol). In the meantime, perhaps I should read 1984 or Animal Farm someday.
ReplyDeleteI love reading too. Right now I am reading Once upon a Wardrobe, which is about CS Lewis. It's very interesting.
ReplyDeleteI agree that everyone, especially those who need a wake-up call, should read those books by George Orwell, Terri. I'm an avid reader, too, and I do love a good mystery/thriller.
ReplyDeleteBlessings!
Hi my friend, good to see you here. I sure loved doing this one being an avid reader since childhood. Thank you for sharing and the quote, isn't that the truth in this dark and dreary times. Have a blessed day!
ReplyDeleteI enjoyed your answers.
ReplyDeleteI remember reading Animal Farm and 1984 when I was in high school. I've thought of reading them again at some point. I love reading!!
ReplyDeleteI don't like soupy books much either. I don't want my heart torn out or to be made sad. One that did that was Mister God, this is Anna and It was terribly emotional for me. No, not into that. Thank you so much for joining in each week.
ReplyDeleteI'm glad I'm not the only one who had a bit of trouble with deciding how to answer the questions..haha. Great answers
