This week’s musing, from ShouldBeReading, asks…

What do you think are the top 5 books every woman should read? (And for the men who might be playing today: What do you think are the top 5 books every man should read?)

The top 5 books every woman should read are:
1- The ones that make her think.
2- The ones that make her laugh.
3- The ones that make her cry.
4- The ones anyone tells her she can't or shouldn't read (especially if they are "unsuitable for girls")
5- Any book that appeals to her for any reason.

Switch the pronouns and this is my list of the books every man should read as well. I thought the post about this at CaitesDayattheBeach was spot-on.

This week’s musing, from ShouldBeReading, asks…
What book do you wish you were reading right now? Where would you take it to, if you could go anywhere to read for a while?

I wish I was reading Whose Body? by Dorthy Sayers. I was reading about her books recently and decided I really need to re-read them because I read all the Lord Peter mysteries when I was in college but I am hazy on the details and I want to revisit them. I have the book, but am in the middle of a big book at the moment and haven't started it yet and am anxious to.
I would take my book to the poolside of a Las Vegas casino. The ability to lay out in the sunshine reading a book in March (or any cold, yucky, New England month) is always my preference. We are having a bit of Spring here in NH at the moment, but it won't last. One of the lounge chairs in the picture below looks like the perfect spot to dive into a mystery novel. (The Flamingo Casino pool is pictured.)
