TTG has to have the dullest collection of books ever.

He can’t even claim the David Beckham autobio, cuz that’s mine.

  • Yeah, but there’s lots of good cocktail party chatter in those babies. I bet he rocks at a party. Look at the possibilities!

    If I were an FBI profiler, I’d take one look at that stack and say “straight male” (assuming we take away the Beckham book)!

    At least your husband reads for pleasure, mine doesn’t. He’s only now discovering that authors like the CS Lewis and Tolkien even exist as I hand him the classics (according to me) to read to the kids. It’s very strange hearing a middle aged man getting excited about The Hobbit for the first time!

    Looks a lot like my DH’s pile. Only DH reads a lot of computer stuff as well. Zzzzzz…LOL

    He used to read a lot of sci-fi, Tom Clancy type stuff and other more interesting books. I don’t know what happened.

  • Your hubby reads books? WOW! LOL! My hubby finds info online, but mostly it’s graphic design and fashion research. And he’s a huge podcast subscriber. Almost all his books are reference images. If I gave him a spy thriller, he’d use it to balance a table leg. But he’d probably like the Beckham book if there are action poses in it.

    I love how he snuck in the David Bio though.

  • I’m impressed that your husband actually reads regardless of the material. Mine rarely does, but when he actually picks up a book it’s joke book.

  • Friday Night Lights is excellent. You should read it.

  • Mine is on like book six of a Stephen Donaldson series. Near as I can tell it’s about a leper who goes around killing people. I have no idea how anyone could stick with that story for six books! He’s a big sf/fantasy fan. Heavy into Tolkien, Star Wars, Star Trek, the usual geek stuff. Interestingly enough, he won’t read my books, but he reads the hell out of Bridget Midway. Goes without saying that I find it very annoying. Of course, I talk my plots to death with him, so he feels he’s already read them. But still…

  • Oh, I hated that Donaldson series, but I loved his Gap books (sci fi). Still loaded with bad people and antiheroes, but awesome nonetheless.

  • Hey, at least he reads. That’s awesome. Even if it is boring shit. *g*

    Off topic, I dreamed about you last night. You and I took my 85 year old mother-in-law skiing. No, don’t bother to try and interpret the dream. It’s just too bizarre. Anyway, thanks for the ski trip. Mother-in-law had a great time. 😉

  • My husband reads physics books. For fun. Seriously. String theory, Schroedinger’s cat, “Faster than the Speed of Light,” all that. Seriously. By choice. I tease him all the time by asking about flux capaciters… heh heh

  • Where’s the Penthouses? And I’m not seeing GQ…. what have you done to this man, Karen?

    LOL Just being mean. As long as there’s no L. Ron Hubbard there, I don’t have to worry about you 🙂

  • My husband reads only Dystopias.
    1984. Brave New World. We. It Can’t Happen Here. Jennifer Government.

    He won’t touch my stuff, not even the ones set in a Disunited States.

    The problem is, he has such strong views on everything that we usually end up having political debates with our mostly liberal friends. Sometimes it aint pretty.

    How totally bizarre, Jaci. I can’t ski for toffee, so it was probably her taking me *g* I can’t even begin to interpret what that dream might mean. 🙂

    I love how he snuck in the David Bio though.

    And he’s actually read it too. Although I suspect he would deny it with his dying breath.

    I wonder if it’s as bad as what hubby and our oldest daughter did last night? I don’t even remember how it started but they got all political and then they started using loud voices debating their sides and I finally got tired of it that I told them both to just hush, it was almost 2am for the love of God and I was trying to read. *G*

    My husband reads just like that and I have to say I LOVE that he does. It means he is smart on his own, has his own mind and has stuff to talk about (even if it isn’t with me). He has even (gasp) taught me a few things with his reading tastes and broadened my horizons in terms of what I like — which is so much a larger list now than it ever was…

    I think you are pretty darn lucky!

  • Hey Love Ann, what a truly unusual name. When I first saw it, I assumed you were doing a promo for somebody called Ann Dougherty, lol.
