I also like science books for the layman, especially to do with time,cosmology,evolution, different religions, different takes on Jesus,that sort of stuff. I don't like to miss out on anything and I'm never bored!

Isn't there ever a time you feel THAT'S IT?Rita Galiehhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14586506137798711397noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-40017386609172637442010-03-21T03:29:00.473-07:002010-03-21T03:29:00.473-07:00I have at least two books on the go, usually a non...I have at least two books on the go, usually a nonfiction and a fiction. My reading mood depends on the day I've had. If I've had a challenging day writing fiction, I like to read non-fiction so it lets my creativity go into the subconscious to percolate on the day's work. <br /><br />If I've had a breezy writing day, I'm still in creative mode and I usually want to build on that creativity, so fiction is the way for me to go.<br /><br />I start my day with reading a chapter of the bible. This sets my mindset for the day. I can't imagine starting my writing day now without that devotion.<br /><br />Thanks Nick for helping me distinguish between the two.Laura O'Connellhttp://laura-oconnell.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4620199782689299940.post-9747968324824222612010-03-20T15:21:07.125-07:002010-03-20T15:21:07.125-07:00I always have at least one book I am reading and d...I always have at least one book I am reading and do appreciate what you have shared, Nick. My preferred reading is always fiction but there sure are times to read other challenging books on Christian living!Mary Hawkinshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12603850711168486457noreply@blogger.com
