We all deserve to be happy, sad, romantic, stressed, pensive, exuberant, etc. at times - and we are still the same person.

That is not to say that when writing out of their comfort zones -their work would lose value -except if the said work is simply sub par. John Grisham is well known for his legal thrillers, but when he branched out, all of a sudden his work wasn't any good. <br />Different strokes for different folks I guess.

Happy New Year!<br /><br />I get bored with the same-o same-o kind of writing and story after a while, but I don't necessarily enjoy certain writers simply because they're popular. (i.e. "Fifty Shades of Gray." It sold a bazillion copies, but I have absolutely NO interest in reading it.)<br /><br />Thanks. I'll keep on keeping on.

Delightful ... I do get bored with some authors = similar genre and style ... but they are successful - so why not ... Agatha Christie did, and I'm sure Charles Dickens too ... <br /><br />You write beautifully well here - enough lightness to keep us amused as we browse your very varied subjects ... so keep on 'gal' and we'll be seeing you around ...

For me, good writing is more important than anything; a good writer will appeal WHATEVER THE SUBJECT. Conversely, Dan Brown is a good story-teller but I simply can't read his awful books. Similarly with Jeffery Archer. As far as recommendations are concerned, I get a better idea from amateur reviews online than in the newspapers. Generally speaking friends recommendations for good books have often disappointed!<br /><b><a href="http://todiscoverice.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow"> CLICK HERE for Bazza’s novaturient Blog ‘To Discover Ice’</a></b>bazzahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794010156639774028noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6034142332858737641.post-50952469480913712282018-01-04T08:42:49.047-05:002018-01-04T08:42:49.047-05:00I know what you mean.

My hubby and I had an English teacher in high school who dissected every single book we read and led endless discussion searching for hidden meanings. (Most of which, I'm sure, were NEVER intended by the authors.) The whole process turned reading into an unpleasant chore for some students, including my hubby.
