But I don't think she's ready to listen to anyone who doesn't agree with her - not yet anyway - so no use trying to argue with her. <BR/><BR/>It's okay if people call me "superior" and "snobbish" - because I am at peace with my arrogance and my snobbery. <BR/><BR/>And I can read comic books, fantasy, travelogues, Terry Pratchett & Jeffrey Deaver without compromising my sense of self-worth. I don't need to read Jonathan Carroll or Kazuo Ishiguro - or other author - to prove I am a "good" reader. There is nothing to prove.darkorpheushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02565452271408221461noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15914227.post-77025014771566314352007-06-29T20:21:00.000+08:002007-06-29T20:21:00.000+08:00"a wanderlust in my reading"...ooo, I love that. ..."a wanderlust in my reading"...ooo, I love that. I may have to adopt that instead of saying I am a whim reader! Nice turn of phrase, Dark O.<BR/><BR/>I say go for the challenge if you want to. Just don't be surprised if some of the people who love couches accuse you of being one of those armchair nerds who act all superior! ;)Carl V.

But like you've said: many books fit the definition, so it is do-able if we can find the right books. We might even be reading along the Armchair Traveler theme without realising it.<BR/><BR/>LK - Oh yeah, please do.
