Feeling Possessive of Books?

I'll defend Ender's Game to the death.

You; me; shotgun wedding.

My heroine!

Me? Possessive of books? *shifty eyes* ... of course not.

Ok, yes.

It's the appreciation thing that gets to me too. I'm especially protective about things that people ought to show more appreciation for, but don't. Like comedy. LAUGHTER IS IMPORTANT!!! IT IS I TELL YOU!!! Ahem.

If someone says I book I've read is bad, I want to know why. If they can't give me a good reason, I plague them until they can either tell me why they didn't like it, or they threaten to murder me.

Once a friend said that the only books they liked were Harry Potter books ... big mistake. I fixed that!

I defiinitely feel the same way. A lot of my friends have radically different opinions that mine on what makes a good book, and it's so hard to sit through a conversation in which my favorite book is put down. I want to shout, "Oh, honestly, it was great, dang it!" Then I feel like I should go tell the book everything is gonna be all right or something.

I'd have to agree with supercal, I do not like extreme words used with anything it is so close minded.

My mind is open to all literature, all music, and all things as long as it isn't against my moral values, such as drugs and alchohol.

keep writing guys and =) happy reading (=

I think drugs and alcohol are low on the totem pole when it comes to things one should be considering morally wrong enough to put down a book.

Does that mean you don't read anything with either of those items? Because that doesn't seem very open-minded.

What about murder? Genocide? War?

bad example... I meant it to much towards the music side, =\

Actually for a book it would be a couple things im not going to mention... I don't much want to offend anyone about the subject
