Oooh, I love the idea of this thread. Can you promise that all our confessions will be kept confidential and that we're in a SPECIAL TRUST TREE NEST??
OK, confession time:
1. I loved Salman Rushdie's Satanic Verses, but I can't ever seem to get into any of the rest of his books.
2. I like Sense and Sensibility, but I HATE Pride and Prejudice and I find the rest of Austen tedious. I *do* like the books with zombies in.
3. I think Jane Eyre is a doormat, and yes, I've read the book, and no, you cannot change my mind. I just do. Sorry.
4. I like the Arabian Nights / Thousand and One Nights better when they leave the sex 'n' violence in and stop toning it down for kids. Does that make me a bad person?
5. I stopped reading Piers Anthony's Xanth books after #20-something because I hate puns.
6. I read James Axler's Deathlands books, well aware that they have no nutritional value whatsoever and are basically gun-porn end-of-the-world fantasies. I find them fascinating and I don't know why.
7. I love American short stories, but can't stand most "classic" American novels. I dislike "Moby Dick" in particular.
8. Despite being largely turned off by paranormal romance/fantasy books, I buy and read Galenorn's Sisters of the Moon series. I think they're pulpy, but I can't stop reading. Also, I have gotten hooked on the Sookie Stackhouse books despite thinking that the relationship between Bill and Sookie is incredibly unhealthy.
9. I loved Faulkner's "Sound and the Fury" in college, but now it makes me confused and disoriented to read the spiraling-into-madness chapters.
10. I own over 1,000 ebooks. I've read maybe a third of them.
