What, in your opinion, is the (mythical) Great American Novel?
I haven't read enough classics, literary novels, or even genre to be qualified to answer this question. For any country. I know with that statement I sound like I'm one of those idiots who only reads one book a year, but the truth is, I don't even want to put forth an opinion of the Great American Novel. Such a thing can't exist. Even if you put aside favorites, what you think is good writing, I might think is utter crap. Besides, I haven't yet come across a novel where I was completely blown away with the ideas and the prose and thought, "This is perfect. I have to tell everyone how great it is and try to convince them to read this." Yeah, I know. I'm nitpicky.
Onesome: At-- the head of the line for the iPhones, were you? No? What do you think of all the hoopla. ...and the continuing hype? Just curious...
I think people are trying to justify to themselves that getting an iPhone means getting to the forefront of new technology when in reality, they're just buying into the hype. What says more about being silly and greedy by obtaining some status symbol that says they're with it?
As with all new gadgets, I'll wait until I encounter a situation where I really need it.
Twosome: Long-- roads to forever... Do you have a favorite road/trail/path you like to travel just for the scenery?
No. I prefer trying new places. Like reading the same book over and over again even if it's your "favorite", staying on one road is really limiting.
Threesome: Last-- year did you think you'd be doing what you ended up doing for the holiday yesterday? ...or did plans change a bit?
I didn't have any plans in the first place so of course, nothing changed.
For the BTT topic I just went with a book I like and made it clear it is a very personal choice. There isn't really a way of answering otherwise as so subjective. I can understand your reasoning for not leaping in.
