I LOVE TO READ. There was a while where I couldn't read and write at the same time. Then I went into a depressing writers slump/block. I read. Thus the three book marathon. But it jacked me back up and I'm writing again. It's like saying, "Thanks! I needed that!"

You also reminded me to read some Toni, haven't in a while. <br /><br />And I am definitely reading the Girl With the Dragon Tattoo as soon as I find it.

Awesome post. I love to read especial...Hey Charli,<br />Awesome post. I love to read especially because I learn a ton about writing. I devoured The Good Thief this weekend. It was a blast of a story. Loved the characters. A cross between Lemony Snicket and Huckleberry Finn. I read Master and Margarita so I could learn how to transition chapters that, on the surface, have nothing to do with one another. Hemingway taught me how to use imagery and set up an entire world in a few sentences.<br /><br />Toni Morrison taught me to play with form and POV. I tend to study everything I pick up and I'm always amazed at what I learn.<br /><br />I'm not sure what I'm going to read this weekend but I have stacks of books that are waiting for me to devour them.<br /><br />P.S.: I read Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. It is a little tough in the beginning but if you get past those initial pages you can learn a ton about structure, character development, and suspense.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12318096930941457902noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3343503076555756967.post-26250811715608302762010-11-23T18:51:03.830-05:002010-11-23T18:51:03.830-05:00Susan,

I then went ahead and read three single titles back to back and got Nora overload.

Her words are poetic. Her characters so real and vibrant they virtually walk off the page.<br /><br />When I walk away from one of her books, I'm always inspired to write just a littel better than before.<br /><br />susanSusanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10319652591847155422noreply@blogger.com
