Tagged! - a meme

*waves* Hello to all my long-time friends and all of the new people I've added in recent friending memes, Misha's Rhino hunt, and through the Supernatural fandom. I was tagged by oddlyfamiliar to do this meme and figured this was as good a time as any to do a meme to introduce myself.

Wow, you sure have a vibrant, alive and educated personality. I would be so very happy to have someone like you around me in RL... I'm quite the opposite of you when it comes to books and travels, and that made me lol! For books, 95% of what you've listed aren't even in my line of view, because I decided something like 20 years ago that after having been a good girl and done my classics, from now on I would read only genre books: science-fiction mainly, a little fantasy, and some fantastic and horror for salt a pepper. I haven't read anything else since, and I'm still happy with that decision :-). Same for films and series. I have a passion for series, I don't watch TV (but well French TV is so crappy!) but there's not a day without watching at least one episode from a series. As for travel, I have a phobia that makes long travels very difficult for me and I really hate traveling. But if one day I gather my courage enough, I would go there:




Thanks Goddess, I have no problem traveling to England, Ireland and Scotland, my three favorite countries!
I'm a cat people, and as for an instrument, I would like to learn anything that could make me play in an Irish folk music group!

The last couple of years I haven't gotten to do nearly the level of traveling I wanted to.

I don't think it's helpful to judge your reading tastes. You like what you like. You might notice there's a sincere shortage of The Classics on my list. No Dickens. No Russian literature (in my defense, we read very little of it in school but what I read did not lead me to explore it further). No 19th century American writers. Precious few female writers (I DO regret that!). Even fewer writers of color (regret that, too!). No Hemingway or Joyce or Melville.

I like "ancient" literature and modern genre novels with a few others sprinkled in.

I'm sorry that you don't get joy from traveling but I won't tell you what you're missing as I never appreciate it when people try to convince me I'm missing something huge by not being able to do something. I'm glad you still get to enjoy the British Isles. Although they're tiny, they have a HUGE amount of history and modern happenings to make them endlessly fascinating. I imagine there's more than enough to see and do.
