I haven't read any of the Odd books though.<br /><br />I know what you mean about September flying by. I didn't manage to get much reading done either :)Chrissie (Once Upon a Series)https://www.blogger.com/profile/08087018945776669348noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-38324957153518199612012-10-04T04:12:50.317-06:002012-10-04T04:12:50.317-06:00+JMJ+
Funnily enough, "fine but weird"...+JMJ+ <br /><br />Funnily enough, "fine but weird" is exactly how I'd describe a girl I used to know in uni who thought the sun shone out of Margaret Atwood's . . . um, pen. =P <br /><br />It was knowing her that made me conclude that Atwood just not for me, although I haven't read anything by her. (This might be unfair, but I think Atwood has enough readers not to cry over losing me!) <br /><br />But I <i>do</i> love something Atwood has said. I paraphrase it now: "Wanting to meet a writer because you liked his book is like wanting to meet a rooster because you liked fried chicken." Since I'm the sort who doesn't actually want to meet writers whose books I've loved (with a couple of exceptions), that really resonated with me!Enbrethilielhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03414765854670926854noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7530705972708152378.post-65027200844201125992012-10-03T19:05:33.180-06:002012-10-03T19:05:33.180-06:00Sorry you haven't has as much time to read som...Sorry you haven't has as much time to read some more fun fiction books.
