My Author

Its not that I don't enjoy reading, or that I don't have time, I just have no inspiration to read. I would much rather sit in front of the television letting my brain rot away than put in the effort to finish a book. (I hate not finishing books). However, recently I have found myself spending countless hours in Half-Price Books reading the book summaries and picking out numerous books that I would someday like to read. I doubt that I will ever read half of them, but at least I have them in case I do.

Anyway, as for my author, (I have very few to choose from) I like Jodi Piccoult. Her books are not the typical teenage girl books, but more for the young adult. I admit that the first book I read by her, I had chosen because the cover was pretty colors, but that is beside the point. Many of her books are written from various characters points of view, which I enjoy, it gives a fresh look at whats happening. For example, in her book The Faraday Girls, she switches around from each of the 5 sisters points of view. I would compare Piccoult's books to the Shopaholic books written by Sophie Kinsella. I also enjoy her books becuase she sets them in different places around the world. The one set in Australia has been my favorite. Her books are very well written and interesting and I highly recommend them to everyone (okay, mostly girls).
