Book Meme, Part 2
Sep. 20th, 2016 07:18 amMore book meme! For ![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
evelyn_b again. I tried to be a bit more concise this time.
5. Which genre(s) don’t you read? Why not?
I hate to say that I don’t read in a genre, because there always seem to be exceptions: I barely ever read horror, for instance, but I did read Stephen King’s Misery, which is awesome and terrifying. Or I don’t read a lot of category romance, but I really enjoyed Courtney Milan’s Brother Sinister series. (I still haven’t read the final book. I should get on that at some point).
I don’t think I’ve ever read a business book. Probably at some point that’s something I should actually do.
8. The book you read when you’re stuck in bed sick.
Usually by the point I’m so sick that I’m stuck in bed, I’m too out of it for reading. I pop a movie I’ve already seen into the DVD player and gaze blearily at it until I fall asleep.
Often when I’m having trouble falling asleep, I’ll reread old favorites; that’s guaranteed to be soothing and also it doesn’t matter if I start to drift off partway through, because after all I already know what happens. (I once tried to read a Ngaio Marsh book to put me to sleep. I had theater murder themed dreams all night. It was not restful.)
