Lol.

Lol...Bag of Bones is my favorite Stephen King book! Lol how funny that was your example. Stephen King and Dean Koontz books, I just try not to get attached. ;) Lol. I still read books if I know the ending is not one I like, but I do get mad at the book and not want to read it again most of the time. It just depends on how much I liked the rest of the book. Like Blue Asylum - I loved that book but I was so mad at the ending, so I probably won't read it again. <br /><br />And yes, our quirks give us character and unite us!

There is no other way for me to read one:) I also skip to the last page first to see if it it going to be sad, happy etc. I do not like to be surprised:) And I will only lend out a few books at a time to certain people that I know I can trust. You happen to be on that list;)Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03604285985775875238noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7525935409718931244.post-44079431728998241082012-08-28T10:29:32.858-07:002012-08-28T10:29:32.858-07:00My mom is the same way as you are when you say you...My mom is the same way as you are when you say you like a book to have a happy ending. She will read the last chapter and if it's not a happy ending she won't read the book! I can't say I am the same way though. I like to be surprised. I do remember reading Bag of Bones (years ago!) and refusing to finish the book because (I hope I don't spoil this for you) Stephen King killed the main character! I found out later that he's notorious for doing things like that but still! Had I known I probably wouldn't have invested so much time and energy into reading that LONG book! lol<br /><br />Like you I do love the feel of a book. I like the look of it too, so I never lend a soft cover book and if I happen to trust you enough to lend you one of my hard cover books I keep the jacket and give you a few "house rules" on how I expect my book to be treated while it is in your possession. As you can imagine, I haven't been lending my books out to anyone in quite some time! :-)<br /><br />It's the quirks that unite us!<br /><br />E.

I'd sneak a book into the bathroom when I took my bath at night, I'd read under the covers after bedtime...Once, I missed my busstop in elementary school because I was reading and got to engrossed and completely zoned out. Luckily, my bus route at the time was "drop off the condo kids *here*, then go drop off the culdesac kids *here* and loop around back past where we drop the condo kids off", and I realized before she passed my original drop off place. Luckily, my bus driver thought it was hilarious instead of getting mad at me. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
