Thanks for the link!<br /><br />Bernadette-- I stopped for quite a while, too, and although I still read it, it's a very small fraction of what I read. Thankfully more and more non-fiction writers are learning how to tell a tale with all their facts.<br /><br />Kay-- To each his own! :)<br /><br />Cheryl-- Reading these comments and writing my post makes me want to pick up a non-fiction tome RIGHT NOW. LOL<br /><br />Barbara-- Ever read any of Sally Gunning's novels set in colonial America?<br /><br />Charlie-- Do you want a saucer for your cream? ;)<br /><br />Kris-- Like I said to Bernadette, more and more non-fiction writers are learning that, to sell their books, they need to leave the dust behind and tell an interesting story with all those facts. I for one appreciate it!Cathyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01774383554326288663noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-7002170995534660692010-05-18T09:30:40.816-07:002010-05-18T09:30:40.816-07:00I think I chose memoirs because I feel like the st...I think I chose memoirs because I feel like the story would flow better and keep my interest. Most biography's I've read are heavy on facts and can be a dry read and take me forever to get through. I might just have to branch out into other non-fiction though....maybe next year I should make that a goal..one non-fiction that is out of my comfort zone. hmmm...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17182023445485838169noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1999659125625323494.post-53736946386235926132010-05-18T06:27:21.290-07:002010-05-18T06:27:21.290-07:00"If I may be allowed to think as I type ...&q..."If I may be allowed to think as I type ..."<br /><br />Permission granted.
