Favorite as in among all the books I have ever read or books that I have only read this year? For this year, I would refer to the answer that I gave last week. For me, "best" and "favorite" should be the same. A book must be both well written and have that extra something that makes the reader form a positive emotional attachment to it. If it's just well written, it can't be best or favorite, can it? The only thing the writer has done is to rearrange words in an aesthetically pleasing manner.
Onesome: Better-- butter than margarine? ...or Mayonnaise? What goes on your bread for sandwiches? How about dinner rolls? Honey, anyone?
How about hummus? I like the stuff at the local Co-op (in Moscow) although I get it rarely.
Twosome: Late-- again! I think that's something I do about once a year. May I blame it on Christmas cleaning? How about you: is your place all cleaned up from the paper-fest? ...or can you even get to the door yet?
There was very little paper involved this Christmas. All I can say is: gift bags. You can reuse them for next year. Far more environmentally friendly than wrapping paper.
Threesome: than Never-- again? Do you have any Christmas memories (this year or Christmas Pasts) that you'd just like to never repeat? I'm thinking humourous stories would be best!
Christmas, for me anyway, is a quiet and sedate affair. I tend to avoid the crowds of people out shopping or the stress of shopping for other people. In other words, I'm boring. I have no crazy holiday stories to share.
I'm a little disappointed to announce that my favourite book this year is the fifth edition of William's Hematology (which I bought second hand from the local hospital library). Evidence that I'm not reading quite as much as I should.
