My favorite book
Hello Peeps. What is my favorite book? Good question. It's been a few decades since I was in high school and I was forced to read books. That being said, I'm an old fart with a poor memory of the books that I did read. Of Mice and Men comes to mind. Good book, good story. Poor Lenny. Is Reader's Digest a book? If Reader's Digest is a book, I'll go with that as my favorite. I've been reading it since the 80's. Lots of short stories, so it's a quick read. If Reader's Digest isn't considered a book but rather a magazine, I'll revert back to Of Mice and Men as my favorite. When life hands you lemons, make lemonade. When life hands you limes, go buy some tequila.

Wonderful words of wisdom. I must say I agree!
ReplyDeleteWhile Reader's Digest isn't "technically" a book, I think it's worth mentioning. Many people simply don't have the time to dedicate to novels, and RD does have a wide variety of fiction in it.
Of Mice and Men is worth talking about too. In fact, I almost chose it as the novel for 210, but I found it to be a little too short to dedicate the allotted time to!
Nice post, Terry! I look forward to hearing your insights this semester!
