Ecotopia did start off interesting but I have to be honest, I got fairly bored with it. It's supposed to be more of a satire and I enjoyed parts of it but a lot of it was just dry for me.

You don't have to post on every roll, unless you want to. Just repost the whole challenge at the end to get the badge.

Oh, okay. Thank you!
@Joann I like can read a little of just about any genre. The only ones I have no interest in are erotica or what I call cheesy romance. Sex scenes are fine. Just don't like a book for centered around it. Not a big fan of cowboy westerns or thrillers either, and usually only read horror around Halloween but have been known to read one now and then when it's out of season. I'll check out the list. All the lists I found had a bunch of books that were "good to read on vacation". As if there's a book that's not good for vacation...? Lol
I'm going to read The Unhoneymooners
Mod
A character can just go on vacation - I just read Fatal Error by J.A. Jance and Ali went on a trip to California and that would count.
Good Luck!

I did. There were only two names I could find. Charles Dickens and Caitlin Doughty. I might read
or
. Just trying to see if there are any lighter books than ones about death and stuff... HOWEVER! My book I'm writing has to do with life and death, so maybe it will help my writing!
