Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow
Creeps in this petty pace from day to day,
To the last syllable of recorded time;
And all our yesterdays have lighted fools
The way to dusty death. Out, out brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more: it is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing.
-- Macbeth, Act 5, Scene 5

QUESTION OF THE WEEK...05-19-2025
Do you read? Has any particular book influenced you or left a life-changing impact? Which are your favorite authors?
I do read and usually juggle 2 or 3 books at one time. Favorite author? None really. There are some I don't like but no one stands out as a true favorite.
I listen to audiobooks. My favorite series is by C J Box, The Joe Pickett series. As a young person, Robert Lewis Stevenson was my favorite writer, especially his CHILDS GARDEN OF VERSE. I believe that inspired my desire to write poetry.
@Granny Books on tape are great. I do that still even with old radio play shows with Vincent Price and also there's a good Sherlock one on YouTube. We have Premium so noooooooo adverts. So worth the subscription fee.
All of us read or we wouldn't be here reading blogs..I have so many favourite authors, Lee Child, Kathy Reichs, Nora Roberts, Janet Evanovich, Carl Hiaasen, Jeffrey Deaver, Tami Hoag, James Patterson, Jim Butcher, Lee Weeks, Lynda La Plante, should I go on? All fiction of course, I don't do diaries or biographies.
Yes, I read. I always have a book I'm reading. If I have appointments I always take a book. Less stress while waiting and waiting.
ReplyDeleteI love so many authors. Lee Child is my favorite, but I have many others I read. Nora Roberts, Sandra Brown and the list goes on and on.
Have a fabulous day and week. ♥

ReplyDeleteI love to both read and write. Nothing particular to share, just love to read and write. They go hand-in-hand in our home. Cheers.

ReplyDeleteI am certainly a reader and always have a couple of books on the go. I have many favourites too - which change with the season and my mood.
