No I am not kidding. Is it ADD or just a thirst for "the reat of the story"?Donna OShaughnessyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08266654110280149719noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257036732683611349.post-87831717282201172052012-01-08T21:34:55.620-05:002012-01-08T21:34:55.620-05:00Thanks for stopping by my blog.

A while back I read a lot of books set in Africa (but not this one, which is now on my wishlist) and I ended up reading some great non-fiction books to supplement the stories.Sam (Tiny Library)https://www.blogger.com/profile/16375434438465319913noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257036732683611349.post-89767453075487349592012-01-07T18:22:16.120-05:002012-01-07T18:22:16.120-05:00I guess in this day and age, with so much informat...I guess in this day and age, with so much information at our fingertips, it's hard not to check up on the things we're reading in one way or another. Historical fiction is a great example and one I didn't even think to include. I read so much historical fiction and fact checking (or learning more about historical events) is just second nature - I wasn't even considering it as supplemental reading!Susan (Reading World)http://susancoventry.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5257036732683611349.post-2696464328742314332012-01-07T17:04:53.908-05:002012-01-07T17:04:53.908-05:00After I wrote my response to this, I realised that...After I wrote my response to this, I realised that I basically always use Wikipedia to get more information about what I've been reading WHICH COUNTS!
