whiski_sourI know I'm not nearly as well-read as I should be, but this book meme makes me look worse. In truth, I tend to gravitate toward nonfiction more than fiction. And when it comes to fiction, frankly, I like my books like I like my movies and TV shows: with absolutely no redeeming quality whatsoever.
