Ok.. so today i realized what i should have years ago!... that my true calling in life is to pick out books for other people. I think i may have some weird connection when it comes to this. As soon as im done with a book i sit and really maul that book over. I then start thinking of my friends, my sisters and other people that i think my just get a kick over what i have just read. The hard part is trying to get people to take my advice.
When i worked at Waldenbooks many years ago i had a manager who did not believe that The amazing adventures of Kavalier and clay was as good of a book as i claimed. she agreed that she would read the book if i would read this goofy Chuck Norris book that was titled something like the power within or something like that. So I took her up on her deal.. i sat and read all about the ching of chow.. or whatever. It was a very boring book.. and probably the only non fiction book i have ever read that i have not been forced to ...ever!!!! can you believe it?? she tricked me.. she didn't even pick up a copy of k and c. .. i was so sad.....
but anyway.. i think i should take my gift more seriously... i think i could really help people with finding great books...
