10. Reader's Choice'

[Jim son of Jim (formerly PhotoJim)]

I was walking through the park one day. In the very merry month of MAY... Well I suppose I should start my May entries. Two down - eight to go.

1. Mmmm Mmmm good, Mmmm Mmmm good, that's why May's books are Mmmm Mmmm good -

2. Did you know it's Kenjii's birthday this month? Quick let me look on her shelf and see what I want to read! -

3. Ah yes, the Evergreen state. A state with the steelhead trout as the state fish can't be all bad. - Bending the Rules (5/2) takes place in Seattle.

4. They wrote the book and now they're dead? And you want me to read this? Don't you think there might be some sort of cause and effect in place there that I don't want to mess with?

5. Cinco palabras por favor. Dicho y hecho. or How the hell did I graduate college with a minor in Spanish without actually being able to say anything but five words? -

6. I'm going to be the first to rate this book! What do you mean there are already 1500 ratings? I guess it's time I got with the program. - Shadow Game by Christine Feehan (5/6)

7. You want the truth? You can't handle the truth! (If I can't handle a military lawyer, how about a sweet 'dancer' who is trying to put herself through nursing school? Or maybe a naughty kindergarten teacher?) -

8. Today is yesterday's tomorrow. Tomorrow is next week's past. I keep waiting for the future to come with all the cool things I learned about as a kid. I want my flying car and I want it now! -

9. Rules are meant for people with no imagination. I refute your authority! I will read what I want.

10. We always have a choice. When someone says they 'had to' do whatever, that is bullshit. There is always a choice. I understand that the secret to a happy life is regretting as few of those choices as possible. -
