I'm the Devil's Advocate and can usually argue both sides of an issue.<br /><br />Perhaps I feel so strongly about the stalking aspect of the movie because I was stalked, as was one of my daughters. <br /><br />When it comes to skipping, I try really hard not to. In a book I am enjoying, if I skip, it is because I am looking for some piece of information that is bugging me. I an iffy book, I skip to see if it is worth my while to finish the book. (Long gone are the days when I had to finish every book.) If I decide to finish the book, I will usually go back to the page I was on before the skipping. <br /><br />As Elmore Leonard said, "Try to leave out the part that readers tend to skip."<br /><br />P.S. I never give a writer a bad rating. They worked too damn hard and my opinion may not match anyone else's. (That's why I didn't name the book or the author. It's just my opinion and the rest of the book was good.)<br /><br />Thank you for reading my rant. I appreciate your friendship.<br /><br /><br />Libertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759024297549853514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7134252345350556668.post-5313026517669053712012-11-29T08:09:47.512-08:002012-11-29T08:09:47.512-08:00I went all kinds of places with this as I read you...I went all kinds of places with this as I read your post, most of them centering around trying to defend the author and at the same time point out your closed mindedness. This is certainly something I do not engage in, so please respect my honesty without judging too harshly, as this is a fault that I work at continually overcoming. It stems from an unhealthy need to always defend the underdog (even when they don't deserve it) and my own awakening to open-mindedness. So, as I said, I won't enter those dark areas.<br /><br />Which helps me to simply read what you wrote without dragging along my baggage. I didn't see "Sleepless in Seattle," but I couldn't help but draw a parallel to Stephen King's "Misery" which, if you don't know, is about a psychotic nurse who keeps a writer hostage while professing to be his number one fan. Ironically, her name is Annie, also. <br /><br />I also want to comment on your being a "skipper." I am one, also, and like you, feel bad about it. I have proven over and over to myself that almost always I miss something necessary. What this has taught me, though, is that as a writer, I better keep things "hopping" because if I don't, my readers will skip parts that hold information necessary to the story, and they will give my book (if they finish it) a bad rating- one I deserve.R.A.Savaryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04981093157597060368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7134252345350556668.post-41219670500604351662012-11-29T04:16:20.268-08:002012-11-29T04:16:20.268-08:00I couldnt agree with you more; An Affair to Rememb...I couldnt agree with you more; An Affair to Remember is probably in my top five all time favorite romances; you cant compare Cary Grant and Debora Kerr to anyone, especially the mopey, haggy Meg Ryan (ick) ~ I saw Sleepless in Seattle once and it was a painful experience; yeah, like Im going to allow my child near a woman who reminds me of Glenn Close in Fatal Attraction ~ I would have not finished the book either~ Good rant, Liberty ~ We need to figure out what is attraction and what is stalking. Stalking is NOT romance in any way, shape or form, and it certainly is NOT romantic...just my 2 cents.Heather Petershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11204964429556228247noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7134252345350556668.post-80627186019034265362012-11-28T11:56:44.069-08:002012-11-28T11:56:44.069-08:00We'll talk. >wink, wink<We'll talk. >wink, wink<Libertyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11759024297549853514noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7134252345350556668.post-88681334577028704532012-11-28T11:44:13.419-08:002012-11-28T11:44:13.419-08:00Nice post.
