For example, do I count finishing Genesis as 1 book? Or do I wait until I'm through with the entire Bible & count it as 1.

I don't read books just because they are supposed to be good for me anymore.<BR/><BR/>I have read books where I get the strange occurence of hating the story but I just couldn't let the characters go.Yogi♪♪♪https://www.blogger.com/profile/00411274031147372579noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950435494391507153.post-32870229864214345482009-01-31T16:44:00.000-06:002009-01-31T16:44:00.000-06:00Amy, I know, I know. Things happen :) And I agree,...Amy, I know, I know. Things happen :) <BR/><BR/>And I agree, Christian fiction sometimes fall into stereotypical genres. And sometimes books deserve those stereotypes. There's really nothing new under the sun, same old-same old. So I could see how even if you read it, you could get frustrated with it. I know I roll my eyes at some more than others. <BR/><BR/>You want to recommend the best of the best of the best.

I know people dislike the term, but Christian fiction is so much genre fiction that I was trying to see what kind of recommendations we could get for people who consider that what they read is literary fiction...liking the term or not, I understand its purpose.<BR/><BR/>I absolutely one hundred percent agree that just because something is genre fiction doesn't mean it's less or not as well written or not better than something labeled literary fiction.Amyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02515314638093018928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3950435494391507153.post-41250158457640465442009-01-31T15:27:00.000-06:002009-01-31T15:27:00.000-06:00I love Lynn Austin too.
