The one person who probably won't like any of my books.<br /><br />OK, Boneyard, if you comment again and tell me what genres and authors you typically read, I will try to come up with three suitable books to send you.<br /><br />Otherwise, I will send you three somewhat random books.<br /><br />Are you SO, SO excited?!<br /><br />Never mind.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17709842445396738547noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247899948019262860.post-505895025307398872009-11-14T16:16:45.003-06:002009-11-14T16:16:45.003-06:00Boneyard--I do not know why it startles you that y...Boneyard--I do not know why it startles you that you don't like my books.<br /><br />And seriously--you find Language Log unreadable?! I LOVE those guys!<br /><br />J--Fingers crossed!<br /><br />BoyG--thanks for your support (about my book). We love many of the same authors, but you mentioned some I have never read.

I pick up galleys by the gazillion twice a year at conferences at mail them home to myself, some of them for me and some for friends and family. But I've been hooked on books since childhood and just can't kick the habit (even though I don't read ANYWHERE near as much as I used to). I absolutely love Stephen King, but pretty much ignore everybody else in his genre. Other great writers I enjoy are Pat Conroy, John Irving, Shirley Jackson (oh, were she still around...), Flannery O'Connor, Paul Zindel. Nonfiction, you ask (well, even if you didn't specifically)? Tricky to answer that--I think my tastes are somewhat eclectic, and it depends on the specific topic the book happens to be about and the author's take on it.<br /><br />E., you don't know how glad I was to read that your "book is in progress"! Of course I know that could mean almost anything, but the material on your blog definitely shows you have a bunch of books inside you waiting to be written out.KMRhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10257999141454710815noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247899948019262860.post-81438586304817549072009-11-12T13:43:27.761-06:002009-11-12T13:43:27.761-06:00:) pick me!!!

I don't think I'd like your books very much. I checked out your favorite links, and excluding the link to your church, found the others virtually unreadable! So, I guess if I hadn't commented here, I wouldn't be sweating out the chance I could be receiving three books any day now.boneyardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14650285882772888489noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3247899948019262860.post-81533839636980795612009-11-11T08:06:41.076-06:002009-11-11T08:06:41.076-06:00PDD--yours is the first name in the hat!
