I have to feel like I know them in order to be interested in their story.<br />I don't always agree that the book has to be challenging. Especially the books that I read at bedtime. I don't want to have to think about what I am reading. I just want to relax and enjoy the story. <br />I do love it when I read a book and at the end just sit there and say "wow" and they kind of hang with you for awhile and make you look inside and think about yourself.<br />The biggest turn-off in a book for me is when they don't really have emotion and they are technical.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
