It’s a good thing this one came along — I need a break from the book I’m reading. Not because it’s bad; on the contrary, it’s quite good. But because it’s bringing up old ghosts from the past that I have to re-bury once in a while, and that makes me peevish. It’s good to have a distraction.
So, for the non-fiction meme, started by Gautami:
- a) What issues/topic interests you most–non-fiction, i.e, cooking, knitting, stitching, there are infinite topics that has nothing to do with novels? Travel books, food books, memoirs, and humor, mostly.
- b) Would you like to review books concerning those? Sure… and I do, whenever I read one.
- c) Would you like to be paid or do it as interest or hobby? Tell reasons for what ever you choose. I have come to think, in the last year, that it’d be nice to be paid for my reviews. Partially, because I’d like the recognition, because being paid means you’ve “arrived” on some level. But partially because we could use the money.
- d) Would you recommend those to your friends and how? If it’s a book I enjoyed of course I would. I usually just shout it from the rooftops… or my blog. 🙂
- e) If you have already done something like this, link it to your post. Here’s a link to all the non-fiction books I’ve read in the past 3 1/2 years. (There are a couple of links to books I read prior to starting my blog, too. I’m embarrassingly organized. )
- f) Please don’t forget to link back here or whoever tags you. Iliana (thank you!)

And, now for the quiz:
| What Be Your Nerd Type?
Your Result: Literature Nerd
Does sitting by a nice cozy fire, with a cup of hot tea/chocolate, and a book you can read for hours even when your eyes grow red and dry and you look sort of scary sitting there with your insomniac appearance? Then you fit this category perfectly! You love the power of the written word and it’s eloquence; and you may like to read/write poetry or novels. You contribute to the smart people of today’s society, however you can probably be overly-critical of works. It’s okay. I understand. |

It figures, though there was a time when the music geek and the book geek would have been switched. 🙂

Thanks for playing Melissa! I forgot humor – there are some good ones in that category.

Yes, that time that musician and book geek were switched . . . that was me. I think I was answering for a combination of high school and now. A little confusing. It’s not like I’m in plays or an orchestra NOW . . . Anyway, I was a music nerd, then drama, then social, THEN book! Whoa. But they were all very close.

I forgot to add humor to mine, too! Oh well. Maybe David Sedaris will forgive me.

Actually, I quite like being double tagged. It makes me feel all warm, fuzzy and loved. So, thanks for tagging me. 🙂 I did this meme, last week, just FYI. Loved reading your answers. Very few of us have said we’d like being paid. Interesting.

You know, Cami — I had a hard time answering some of the music questions, too… I’m surprised that music was as high as it was, considering. Sarah, I’m not surprised. 🙂Nancy — I realized that I’d double-tagged you and Andi a day after I put the post up. Doh. I read your blog daily and somehow I just missed it. I’m such a dunce sometimes. Glad you don’t mind being double-tagged. 🙂
