Finally Finished...

the Twilight series, er, "Saga," I suppose. I never really thought I'd read them; fiction, in general, is not my thing. Nor are romance novels, "teen fiction," or any other subcategory you could put these books in. Nor, as has been recently pointed out to me, do I generally follow trends or crazes or fads (thanks, Chels).

But, you know, I really did enjoy them - so much more than I thought I would. The imagery and scenes were very vivid, and I was excited to stay up late reading long hours into each night. I even found myself looking forward to this week's Nashville trip so that I could complete my quest.

Now, it's onto another book. And I'm headed back to my usual M.O. this time - nonfiction. I almost always choose nonfiction books. I've often said that if I was going to spend the time then I'd rather learn something. I realize that sounds snobby, but there's some truth to be found, too, in that old saying "sometimes truth is stranger than fiction." But the Twilight series and "The Lovely Bones" (which I read in right before the saga....which is the first time in at least 10 years I read FIVE fiction books in a row!!) have brought me back to fiction again. Broadening one's horizons is always good. And plus, another friend, Michelle, pointed out that my taste when reading nonfiction can be quite boring. But personally I'm looking forward to "The Canon: A Whirligig Tour of the Beautiful Basics of Science."
