MY SERIES OF THE WEEK: "A Song of Ice and Fire" series by George R.R. Martin are epic coming-of-age fantasy/adventure stories written by the master of the genre. A must read for all ages...HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you and yours!
My wife Karen and I recently celebrated our 41st Anniversary. We have 2 children, a daughter 36 years old and son 39 years old and one Granddaughter, who just turned two. I am semi-retired and we live in a small rural community in Oregon. I learned how to read between 3 & 4 and became an avid reader while bedridden for over a year, with Rheumatic Fever, when I was 8 years old. Since then I have had an insatiable appetite for books which recently drove me to purchase a Kindle 2 (hopefully, it won't bankrupt me, lol).
I don't really favor one genre over the other but I do love fatansy/adventure and mystery/suspense a lot. I have been impressed, since becoming a Shelfari member, to see the number of young people who share my passion for books. So many young people now-a-days don't read, it's very sad, so I am going to encourage every young person I meet on Shelfari to read.
Hopefully, I'll live long enough to put all the books that I can remember reading on my Shelfari page. It's going to take some time because they number in the 100's. Also, i want to mention that as I rack my brain and try to recall the titles of the books I've read I'm sure many of the covers and publishing dates on the books shown on my shelf are NOT the same as those on the actual books I've read over the years. But most of the titles are correct. Over the years I have sold off most my books through garage sales and lending out books to friends that I never got back but I had so many I really didn't have much choice. I have also donated many books from my library to the Senior Center and sold them at my wife's annual garage sales. So, to all my new and soon to be friends, READ ON......
