Just like a boyfriend/girlfriend/soulmate/BFF or other relationship don't let anyone else tell what's right for you as far as a good book. Despite the title of my blog I AM NOT trying to tell anyone what a good book is. Everyone has to figure that out for themselves. Your taste may run to blood and gore, light chick lit, westerns, Harlequins, how-tos, spiritual offerings or simply the latest magazine or newspaper. As I used to tell my children, I don't care what you read....just read. The advent of e-books and portable e-readers in the past few years have made it easier and easier to always have a good book to read and many of the more popular e-readers have a lot of free classics to download and they all have a rotating list of free or very cheap books that are not Jane Eyre or Jane Austin. Lots of authors out there are trying to build up their readership by allowing e-sellers to offer the first in a series to be offered free or priced below $3.00, figuring (rightly so) that once a reader reads a good book he or she will return to purchase everything else possible by that author.
So start reading...you might just discover you like it and unlike so many other habits you could pick up, reading is good for you!
