Book Summaries
Sep. 3rd, 2009 10:50 amI love going to the bookstore. I buy books. but like with the library, my favorite part is reading all the summaries for the new books, fiction, nonfiction, etc. I don't know, it's not as good as reading a short story, but I like getting flashes of the ideas people come up with. Reading the summaries of new books is almost like reading newspaper headlines ... I can get a feel of what's going on by looking at what subjects people choose to talk about. and the ideas, it's always nice to know what kinds of stories people are trying to tell (or which cheap plot bunny they're using to make some more cash... hey... it's a nice way to check with the trends...) It's also why i'm pretty competent at choosing books for gifts... because I read way too many summaries and reviews. Amazon browsing = win.
