I have rediscovered my local lending library & it's great! They went all 21st Century on me when I wasn't looking. Now you can search for books, find out which branch they are located at, & put in order requests all from the privacy of your own home. In your underwear, if desired ~ kinda like now.
So, I'm immersed in two attention-grabbing series right now:
- The Women's Murder Club - James Patterson {be on the lookout Friday as the TV series based on the books premieres!}
- The Alex Cross Books - James Patterson {two have been made into movies starring Morgan Freeman}
In addition {HAHAHA! I just typed 'addiction', how apropos}, my in-laws are doing some "cleaning" at their house {more like going through stuff & getting rid of junk they haven't used in a while. Mayhaps they would like to offer me some incentive to do the same cuz Chez Wilma is getting a little crowded with all my packrat tendencies...} & she called me over to go through some books she decided to part with.
So I'm also in the middle of reading the Kay Scarpetta series by Patricia Cornwell.
I have always felt a twinge of sympathy for people who don't find pleasure in reading. I have devoured books for 31 years. Books of all shapes & sizes. Books of all genres & plotlines. My favs are murder-death-kill books, but I do enjoy the occasional fantasy or historical fiction, & on a much more rare basis, a "beach book". I can't choke down a Danielle Steele anymore to save my life, but there are some romance novelists that I do like to read as a change of pace.

You never told me you felt "sympathy" for me--I am sorry!! Can I still be your friend?

You're my friend to the end, Baby!
I know reading isn't your thing. We all have different interests. I guess cuz reading is such an addictive past-time for me, I just can't quite understand how it isn't like that for everyone.
For me it's education, entertainment, and escape from reality all rolled into one.
Like you need any more escape from reality!!!
