- Kindle. I have the original from several years ago. I love it for two very big reasons. First, I can increase the font size and Second, it is easier to read in direct sunlight than a book.
- The Talisman by Steven King and Richard Straub. I read it when I was in High School and loved it but find that I don't remember much of it. It's about a 12 year old boy who must travel between worlds to save his mother. I'm rereading it mostly because I recently learned of its sequel/continuation - Black House but find the parallel of taking care of my mom is adding a new detention to the story. The Talisman is one of King's best books and one of the only not to have been made into a movie or mini-series.
- I think it's about 30! I have been really bad about reviewing them and 14 of them were the Sookie Stackhouse series on which the True Blood series - is increasingly - loosely based. Other then the main characters, the two are absolutely nothing alike.
- I don't do FR or Twitter but I do read tons of blogs, usually while watching tv so they don't interfere with my book reading. However, my book reading is dependent on getting out of the house and reading at the beach, in Starbucks, at lunch, at the doctor's office or while on the train or subway. If I stay home I do get distracted by the computer or other things.
- I read mostly fiction such as horror and scifi, mixed with biographies, political and science.
- I've never read the Kama Sutra but I used to hide in the book stores reading/looking at The Joy of Sex until I saw The Gay Joy of Sex. I should probably read them again but at the time it just "pointed" me in the (di)erection of my emerging feelings.
- My first book was one of my mom's Judy Bloom novels. I don't remember what it was exactly but I came across a gayish love scene and read the entire book hoping for more.
- My first novel was Gordon Merrik's The Lord Won't Mind. I was in my public library when my eyes fixated on the paperback's cover on the spinning rack. I didn't know what the book was about but the artwork of a beautiful blond man was more than enough to tell me I needed to read the book. Years later, I reread the entire series. Good fun, light summer reading. It was interesting to see how much had changed gay life had change in 20+ year but had also remained the same.
