Biographies, autobiographies, romance and true crime are my favorite reads.
I'm stuck on Nora Roberts lately. Love her trilogies.
It's not the deep reading that you all do but I like it
People like what they like. Everyone has different "reasons" for reading. Relaxation, Escape, Information, Letting imagination go to places where they need to spend more time, for vocabulary, for foolish pleasures, for insight into subject matter that interests them......it's a long list. All of that is "deep" isn't it?
My best friend is a radiologist and she only reads dime store novels.
I understand that. Left brained people need to spend more time in right brain, and vice versa.My Stroke of Insight was a fascinating book. True story about a woman (Jill Bolte Taylor) who is a BRAIN SCIENTIST, and had a stroke on one side, the side where her brain and career spent all it's time........she lost her ability to speak, etc. ......she later came to realize that she never would have rehabbed from her stroke if she had not been FORCED to use the other side of her brain.
So NOT having her brain work on one side, the side she depended on the most, turned out to be her salvation. It was the side she didn't use much, but which was the only side left standing at the time of her stroke, that led to her healing.

I also did not know that as an organ donor, they don't take your brain. She enlightened me about donating my brain (tissue) to the brain bank, it is actually very much needed for research to help research projects that may one day cure those with brain disorders.
