I do not like working six days a week! I understand there are people who have to do it all the time, whereas I only have to do it for five weeks a year, but I still do not like it, and I cannot wait for Christmas to be over.

On to more pleasant things! I see that several people have done a Books Read in 2010 post today, even though 2010 is not

I've thought about doing a similar post, but, honestly, it would take some serious pre-thinking b/c I've read so damned many books this year. Not *good* books, per se (b/c I don't do much, if any, of that kind of reading), though.

And I guess that at some point I've going to have to read the Hunger Games trilogy b/c so many folks have recced them. I just hope it's not like the His Dark Materials (or whatever that was called) b/c those books were recced by so many and I HATED them :P

I didn't hate the Dark Materials series, but then again, I never got around to reading the third one at all, so you can deduce just how indifferent to them I was. The Hunger Games series is flawed, absolutely, but they're really gripping stories.

Well, to be honest, I didn't hate them until the third book, but I hated it enough to make up for any ambivalence I had about the first two books.

Heh, if you broke down the books I read this year by category, I have a feeling there would be more YA and romance than anything else, so I'm hardly one to judge people on reading "good" books!

Mine's mostly genre fantasy/sci-fi (and not particularly educational/philosophical fantasy/sci-fi). Although I did recently read an interesting dystopia by Kate Wilhelm (the mystery writer) involving cloning from the 70's. Nothing like any of her later work. Made me think too much -- so it's now time for some bubble gum reading :)
