MY MUST-READ BLOGS (PLEASE LIMIT TO 3): Truth, Beauty, Freedom and Books, TYWKIWDBI, Dear Author,
MY READING PERSONALITY (http://www.bookbrowse.com/quiz/) IS: OK I actually went there and did that quiz. Here is the result: "You read for entertainment but also to expand your mind. You're open to new ideas and new writers, and are not wedded to a particular genre or limited range of authors." I quite agree.

ReplyDeleteHi everybody and thanks for your comments. I have been caught reading most improbable books. When I am hard-pressed for appropriate lecture I can even read instruction manuals and a telephone directory.
ReplyDeleteSo glad you were featured today, Bridget!
ReplyDeleteI love that no book intimidates you! I need to be like that. I have a few that scare me like Ulysses by James Joyce.
What blog is TYWKIWDBI? If I know it, I am drawing a blank on what it could be.
I would totally visit Egypt, too! I am obsessed with Ancient Egypt. :D
