perletwo25.7 - Nikki's Task: Drug of Choice - Re-read a book that is special to you. Optional: Write a few words to explain why the book is special to you.
C is for Corpse
I read this when it was new, in 1986. I was 16 and hungry for heroines; I collected comics, but not being an Amazon, a mutant or Bruce Banner's cousin, there wasn't much there that translated.
Kinsey Millhone's voice hooked me by the end of the first paragraph - "I've never worked for a dead man before and I hope I won't have to do it again" - and she was my entree into the wave of hard-boiled female detectives just taking shape at that time.
Who was your enabler? ...read a book that clearly includes the person or relationship that describes you and your book dealer in the 카지노싸이트 summary. Example: Parent, Teacher, sibling, best friend, neighbour, librarian etc.
The Mother Hunt
My mother read to me as a child - as I was the baby, so really did Dad and my older brother and sister. But Mom is not a performer by nature, so I have to assume she did it for love of the mama/baby time and to help make reading a natural thing for me.
