This week’s meme further explores reading:
Have your book-tastes changed over the years? More fiction? Less? Books that are darker and more serious? Lighter and more frivolous? Challenging? Easy? How-to books over novels? Mysteries over Romance?
Of course my book-tastes have changed over the years. Or, at least, I hope they have. I read every Babysitter’s Club book, every Sweet Valley High and Sweet Valley Middle School book, every Boxcar Children book, every Saddle Club book. Then I moved on to every John Grisham, every Mary Higgins Clark, and many Danielle Steele’s. Intermixed with the above, of course, were gems of both classical and contemporary natures. Still.
Now, I prefer literary fiction over most other genres, but I like to mix it up too. Nothing is off limits except perhaps self-help. Sorry, I just can’t do it. I hope that my literary tastes continue to expand and develop, since that is one of the many reasons I read.
