This Friday I was talking with some old lady, who had been brave enough to comment politely my black/pink dreadlocks She was amazed when I told her I was a librarian and then of course we started to talk about books. It made me wonder...
People assume that as a librarian I only read certain type of literature, like literary classics for example and I want to bang my head on desk or something. Sorry, but for my opinion, when some book is supposed to be classic, for me it equals boring (of course there are some very good exceptions too). No, this doesn't mean I dismiss their meaning for example pointing out what is wrong in this world etc). There are (and will be) books & authors that has given (and will give) so much to this world, even changed the world, our world, our way of thinking...
My point in this, well, rant is - I do hope I have some point in this - that in my opinion a book has no less value if it is written for pure entertainment and that books can be read simply for fun
And then a question: what have you read lately, simple just for fun?
My latest books are these "straight women writing gay erotic books":
- many, many books of Stormy Glenn
- many, many books of Carol Lynne
- reading at this moment: K.A. Mitchell: Life, Over Easy
G.A. Hauser: Of Wolves and Men
