    An Observation

    Actually not all of them have that, but the majority do. Tea & cats are almost unavoidable :)

    Those two things really irritated me at first when reading Dune, as well. As to the thoughts of each character: After getting about halfway into the book, this gets less irritating. At least, it did for me, as the action picked up and I became interested enough in the story to not be...

    Xanth

    True about the lack of rape, which I did appreciate. It wasn't really one particular book, just in general. I'm not sure if he doesn't know how to write women or what, but it definitely managed to put me off his books.

    An Observation

    I actually didn't mean the cat-mysteries, but rather the other ones that include cats here and there. I love cats and still hate the cat mysteries, so I'm not sure that is a stereotype that worked with me!

    How many genres do you like to read?

    I read most genres, but I do avoid horror & true crime...fiction or not, I don't like to be scared. I don't often read romances, but I try not to block any genres out. My favorite genres are probably sci/fi & fantasy, but this tends to shift at any given moment.

    What is your fave "children's" lit?

    I loved the Harper Hall series by Anne McCaffrey. Of course, those three books led me to her other dragonrider books, which became my favorite of all time.

    An Observation

    I'm probably more likely to notice, as I love cats. My husband tells me I have "cat-vision" in that I can spot a cat from quite a ways out. There can be a ton of interesting things happening around me, but I notice the cat first.

    Old Christmas Threads (gifts, well wishes, etc)

    I usually start in October or early November. I'm almost finished, but I do have a few additional objects to buy.

    Xanth

    I said they were also sexist, which meant in addition to containing lots of sex. And I meant the way women are treated, which I found to detract from the story in a major way.

    Xanth

    The novels also seem to be a bit sexist. Ok, a lot sexist. Does that improve? Because I liked the stories, but the sexism got really old really fast.

    An Observation

    I've recently (in the past three years) gotten into reading cozy mysteries. I've noticed something fascinating...cozy authors almost always tend to include cats in their books. The cats might not be main characters, but they're present. It makes me curious as to whether those who write...

    I just finished reading...

    Just finished Fannie Flagg's A Redbird Christmas, it was a pleasant fun read, but I wish it had been longer. The first six months had a lot of detail and fun, while she just sorta skipped on through the second six months. Still, not bad for a Christmas read, and definitely one to buy if...

    About halfway through A Redbird Christmas by Fannie Flagg. I'm enjoying it quite a bit. Nothing stressful, just a sweet & pleasant read. I love the way she writes, and find Flagg's books to be calming and fun.

    Who likes Monty Python?

    I agree that was one of the funnier parts. Not a big fan of The Meaning of Life, but I agree that it did have its humorous moments.

    Freaky...

    I get a sense of deja-vu all the time...even more so recently. I'll be sitting in class or somewhere else and get the sense that I knew what was going to happen before it happened...just like I was remembering it happening earlier. Quite weird. I thought I was getting them more just because...

    How are you going to power these audio books? I imagine there is no electricity and batteries do run out.
