I'm just curious.....what makes you pick up a certain book? Is it the author or the subject matter? For me........it's history.........I also like travelogues.......I love to read about where people have been and their impressions, experiences,..........maybe I live vicariously thru them.............one of my favorites is written by Agatha Christi.........she writes about her adventure with her husband on his digs in the Middle East..........he was a famous archaeologist, Sir Mallowan............she's so interesting.............he commented ( though she was ten years younger than he) that the reason he was attracted to her in the first place was the fact that she could sleep in the middle of the midday in massive heat........he was also know to describe her dresses in the language of archaologists "that's a very becoming logenze design my dear"..........the infamous quote was that he loved her, speaking off the cuff was that the older she got the more he appreciated her being an archaelogogist..........
