Notes From an Amateur Writer #41
WHAT ARE SOME OF YOUR FAVOURITE BOOKS?
This Blog series is an exercise in creative writing. Sometimes expressed in short story form, sometimes as a journal, or just my thoughts written down. This is my attempt to help coalesce my writing ideas and knowledge into usable form. It is a nursery of sorts for the stories that are on their way, or yet to be written.
This is post 6 in @dragosroua's January 30 day writing challenge.
Tell Me About Your Favourite Books
I have posted several times lately discussing my reading habits from 2017, and detailing what my reading goals are for 2018. I received many comments and suggestions for other books to look at also. All very helpful, especially for someone wishing to broaden his reading amount and styles.
It got me to thinking – why not just go directly and ask others what their favourite books are? But not even such a broad question. Such a thing is often impossible for an avid reader to answer. From what genre? From what year? Year of publishing or the year it was actually read? And many more can lead from even this little expansion upon the initial question.
So I will leave it open ended. And it's not just favourite books I am interested to hear about. Even those you found to be interesting, for whatever reason. I would love to hear other people's reading habits, and suggestions. What grabbed you the most? What surprised you the most? Did any leave you disappointed, or even make you throw the book away in disgust? Did you read something so good you proceeded to look for more from the author immediately?
I discussed my own reading interests here and here, but would love to hear your thoughts and ideas about books that grabbed you for whatever reason. Even books you are looking forward to reading sometime soon.
