But the one thing that keeps me reading it at all is I am so invested with the characters! I'm hoping that he enlists the aid of a decent editor and copy editor. I think he has the imagination and talent; he just needs to have some guidance!Donnanoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-11305895964695680522016-08-31T21:16:16.288-07:002016-08-31T21:16:16.288-07:00So books produce the same reactions we would exper...So books produce the same reactions we would experience on that occasion in real life. Makes me wonder if I get lost in a book and can't put it down even if I should be sleeping/writing/cooking, does that means in real life I'm easily seduced into other directions from the ones where I need to go? I love to hear about the neuroscience. Can't wait for your next blog.

People sometimes think I live in a library. Currently reading Garth Risk Hallberg's City On Fire. Have to read the book in bed as it's weighs almost as much as I do.Elise Warnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12111849185666548945noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-18033672445141973732016-08-31T13:34:41.266-07:002016-08-31T13:34:41.266-07:00My new criteria for keeping a book: Would I read i...My new criteria for keeping a book: Would I read it again? If no, it goes! That applies to fiction and non-fiction equally. With so many books out there I don't want to waste my limited shelf space!<br /><br />I've been collecting a lot of information on neuroscience--maybe I'll write a blog on that next :)<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11981187517116940212noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7545210782126483136.post-43162839177047664062016-08-31T12:31:16.309-07:002016-08-31T12:31:16.309-07:00Another book hoarder here. :-) I have a lot of vi...Another book hoarder here. :-) I have a lot of vintage mystery writing books, which I find really fun to read through now and again. Just for the pleasure of reading someone like Mary Stewart's thoughts on creating atmosphere.
