Q: What would your prefer: reading your favorite book over and over again until you got sick of it OR reading 100s of mediocre books? And why?
It’s usually a quandary isn’t it? Quality over quantity or vice versa. I personally would rather read one Anne of Green Gables over a hundred Da Vinci Codes. There is nothing that can beat that one great book. The type that makes your heart feel happy that there is still some beauty to be found in this world. Can you tell I’ve recently found another one of those books. Review to come. Yes, I am going to leave you in suspense :) But I’ll give you a hint—it’s an old book and yes it is a classic but it’s not very well known. I don’t want to give it away now because I would just basically gush about it and bore you here instead of my review.

I often go back to my dilapated copies of JKRowling & Satyajit Ray books, but still the lure of new books wins!

ReplyDeleteWhen a book convinces you of the good of the world it is definately a keeper.

I can't wait to read you're review on whatever suspenseful book you are mentioning. For books, I prefer a book with good quality.

Hopping through. I could definitely read Anne of Green Gables over and over.

I completely agree with your answer, and you put it so beautifully! :) I'll be interested to see which book you are referring to!
ReplyDeleteHere is my FF: click. I'm not a new follower, I've been following you for a few weeks.
That's an awesome answer! I totally get what you're saying! Thanks for following me, by the way, I'm following back!
ReplyDeletePS, I see for your button, in the text box there's a code. I was wondering, how do you get the code to stay in text form instead of turning into the button, because that's the issue I keep having. I would really appreciate it if you told me how on my blog:
