Thanks, Karen, for alerting me to this - I've been Normed!
Norman Geras runs a blog at www.normblog.typepad.com and on Fridays features a Blogger Profile - a sort of brief Q & A. This week it's me! See the profile here. Very exciting for me!
There's a link at the bottom of it to other, previous profiles - including, from my link list, Elaine, Karen, Lisa, Susan and Lynne.
Those are great questions--I always had you pegged as a one book at a time sort of reader, but you are reading quite a few books at once. Sense and Sensibility is on my radar (I'm planning on reading--rereading all Jane Austen's work this year, though I cheated and started last December). I've not read S&S yet and it's next (loved Northanger Abbey, but it's not my favorite of hers).
ReplyDeleteHi Danielle - when I started this blog, I was one-book-at-a-time, but now university is over, I indulge in piles at a time!
ReplyDeleteI used to just read one or two, but now I've become notoriously bad about opening everything in sight. I am trying to keep the stack down to a manageble size, however (maybe six instead of last year's 13 at once!). At least I am never at a loss for something to fit my mood, and there is usually a sort of method to my madness (one fiction, one NF, one classic, one mystery....).
ReplyDeleteJo Brand for prime minister - what an absolutely fabulous idea.
ReplyDeleteAnd I look forward to Sinon, the autobiography of a bookaholic.
Congratulations, it was interesting to read your views. To "Angela Young" - is Sinon a joke/pun in French on Simon's first name? Otherwise or Or else seems an interesting title for an autobiography.
ReplyDeleteI loved reading your interview and was thrilled to see you like my blog.

Sorry not to enlighten you for so long, Peter - Sinon is a reference to an answer I gave in the profile, about potential autobiog titles.
