Thoughts from the bookshelf – Groundhog Edition
- There are two books I am able to read over and over – The Stand by Stephen King and The Dragon and the Unicorn by A.A. Attanasio. Every time I read them, they are new all over again.
- A book I never, ever want to read again? The Watchers by Jon Steele. All due to the lone female character of Katherine. Worst. Damsel-in-distress. Stereotype. Ever. Useless character there only for sexual situations it seems. Did she really have to be a prostitute Steele?

- Worst nightmare ever? Being stuck on a deserted island without a book to read.
- If I ever become a ghost stuck on earth the first thing I will do is learn how to hold a book in my ghostly hands so that I can keep reading for eternity.
- Do you think alien beings on other planets have books?
- Imagine plugging a book in and having the entire world of that book open up before you in 3D imagery and tell you the story? Like a movie, but it follows the book exactly!! Sigh.
- Anytime the statement “I don’t like to read” is uttered, a book fairy dies.
- The librarian fantasy is due to the fact that all people everywhere, secretly think reading is sexy.
- In a past life of mine I was a female mystery writer in the 1800`s and wrote under a male pseudonym. This is according to an old friend of mine who claimed to have visions of people`s past lives. I don`t know how I feel about this. I don`t really like mystery.
- If I had a time machine I would go back in time and beg Stephenie Meyer to write a book about fairies instead of vampires. At least I can buy the idea of fairies sparkling.

Hi there!
#6: That would be awesome!
#10: I second that! The sparkling thing, what was that in vampires?
IMHO… Cheers! Great post! :)
If aliens don’t have books, we should just call off the search now.
#7 agreed.
#10 LOL – well, if and only if she simply MUST write at all…..
