say what?!
that's right, the only book that has ever maintained the interest of this fine person is a dan brown book.
"in this whole library of books you've never found another book that you've liked?" i asked, shocked that this could be true. i almost would rather her say she hated reading than say that angels and demons is the only book for her. i mean, i try not to judge. reading is reading. but i want for her than this.
she repeated this, and i told her that i will make it my mission to find her another book that she enjoys.
so there you have it. the gauntlet has been thrown. challenge accepted. can miss dewey decimal get a reluctant reader to like a second book? we shall see dear blog readers. we shall see.

ooh that's just wrong. i can't understand someone not getting into any other books.
Angels & Demons was OK but I wouldn't give it a re-read. What was it about the book that held her interest: did she like the adventure, the mystery or the writing? One of my favorite books that I read last year was Water for Elephants. It's fantastic. I also really liked the Kite Runner and currently am finishing Grotesque. Get this woman a goodreads.com account! She can start fishing around. And then of course, use her local library to take out the books. Keep us posted...I must know how this turns out.
I really never read a book until I was in my mid-30's. Maybe she'll grow into it like I did.
