Comments on: Don't Judge a Book By Its Cover, And By Book Cover I Mean Me http://www.nicnarrates.com/2009/04/21/dont-judge-a-book-by-its-cover-and-by-book-cover-i-mean-me/ Sun, 05 Sep 2010 19:24:53 +0000 http://wordpress.org/?v=2.9 hourly 1 By: Chica http://www.nicnarrates.com/2009/04/21/dont-judge-a-book-by-its-cover-and-by-book-cover-i-mean-me/comment-page-1/#comment-734 Chica Wed, 22 Apr 2009 08:51:16 +0000 http://nicnarrates.wordpress.com/?p=1145#comment-734 I really don't think I could pin down one book that would reflect me. I'm reading Perfume at the moment and really enjoying it. I think you can read the same book at different stages in your life and it will trigger something entirely different in you. One thing I would probably leave off a dating website myself is that I get excited whenever I read an essay by literary theorist Homi K. Bhabha - it sounds so dorky but I remember the breakthrough feeling at uni when I finally understood him! I really don’t think I could pin down one book that would reflect me.

I would dismiss them if it seemed that it was the only book they had ever read. The DaVinci Code was a fad. You might as well read The Secret too.

It's teenage fluff at its finest. As I keep telling people, I read for entertainment, and that stuff sure as hell entertains.

"Shopgirl" made me cry and ache and generally want hugs. And I was legitimately surprised at how much I liked "A Girl's Guide To Hunting & Fishing". And hell, sometimes fluff reading is fun. “SD&CP” was amazing and hilarious.

I definitely don't think one book can encapsulate a person ... at least, you can't judge a person on a book you see them reading on the bus or at the airport. They might be reading it for work or school, or only be in the beginning stages of a book they thought was going to be good, but ending up sucking it big time. It's funny what that person said about The Da Vinci Code. I loved it (even though Angels & Demons was better!), but I'd so never post anything about me reading it on a dating Web site. :) Ooh, I love Klosterman.
