I was an English ...I can completely relate to this! I was an English major for six years (BA+MA) and it wasn't until the last year that I finally learned how to read for fun again and choose my own books and authors and such. People would ask, "Have you read such-and-such?" and I'd feel that same embarrassment you mentioned and I'd say that same thing: "I've been in school. I'm still catching up." It's been three years since I graduated, and I'm finally starting to feel "well-read."

And that were enjoyable, but perhaps not things I will go back to that often if ever. My "favorites" change all the time.A Lil Sumpin' Sumpin'https://www.blogger.com/profile/11188992285274244678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5710097126963283765.post-58691629724054707042009-11-24T22:40:18.590-05:002009-11-24T22:40:18.590-05:00Hum. I must say that I've never had a favorite...Hum. I must say that I've never had a favorite anything. I couldn't name you my top ten of music, movies, desserts, or books. I just couldn't. It would have to be my top ten when I'm happy, when I'm sad, when i'm contemplative, when I'm braindead, when I'm bored, when I'm tired, when I'm giddy, when I feel badass, when I feel like rubbing things into peoples faces.... but I guess a good measure of something i like/love is if I own it. I don't own a book I don't like in some way - either I love to read or I love the author. There is no such thing as something unloved in my house.Miahttp://www.pleasedontreadthisbook.comnoreply@blogger.com
