Writing in books October 26, 2006

Christine wants to know…

1. Do you make notes in books as you read them?

Reading in bed October 19, 2006

1. Do you read in bed? For how long? Do you fall asleep reading? Will a good book keep you up all night?
2. Where do you keep your nighttime reading? Do you have a special table next to the bed? Are there many books there? Do you keep books there that you aren’t reading (finished or unread)?

2. Why or why not?
3. What do you like and dislike about short stories?

2. And, of course, why? What made this book resonate with you?
