Love that, Michelle. Sigh.

Our whole family loved The Chronicles of Prydain as well, though they didn’t come home until I, too, discovered them while working in the school library. Our dog sometimes reminds us of Gurgi . . .

My husband and I also went through a Helen MacInness spell in the mid-1980′s–international spy stuff. He’s gone on to Ludlum, but I don’t care for the violence.

Like Nicole’s husband with her second novel, my guy is also a fan of my (unpublished) writing. That’s probably because he sees himself as the hero in each book . . . not without reason. But it amuses me when he does some of the “romantic” things I write about after he’s read my manuscripts.

Ah, subject for another blog.

My sweet hubby doesn’t really read much (yet–I’m workin’ on it). But he often flips through magazines associated with triathlete training and things like that. But you’re right, doesn’t really matter what we read, just that we enjoy it.

We like thrillers (Robert Liparulo for sure), but my husband paid me the highest compliment when he read my second novel (The Famous One) and told me it was his favorite novel of all. (And he hasn’t read any of the seven others.)

We read aloud Martyn Lloyd-Jones’ Sermon on the Mount as newly-weds. My husband reads mostly non-fiction. But when we were serving in Ethiopia under a 6 to 6 curfew in the late 1970s. I brought home the first of Lloyd Alexander’s Chronicles of Prydain from the school library where I worked. I laughed aloud so much and had to keep stopping to read portions or explain that he read that first one himself. The rest we read aloud, first the two of us and later (more than once) with our children who both put hard-back copies of their very own on their Christmas lists sometime in college.

Biographies for my doctor/deputy husband. Especially anything related to history. He keeps a nest of books and magazines beside his chair and has three or four going at one time. We listen to lots of books on CD as we drive, and I often get a good nap during his favorites. But, I managed to stay awake all the way through John Adams! I lean toward novels, and now I have to go find he Poldark books!
