I think if I was that ashamed, I would just read it at home. <br /><br />However, I do carry & read my books everywhere. To be honest, I wish more people would take an interest! I want to talk about books! Which is why I'm so glad I have met all the book bloggers. <br /><br />I think this is a great experiment. I can't wait to hear what happens. I'll pay more attention to people's reactions to my books too.Midnyte Readerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10411332857885069319noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2396167546862628166.post-49829603145806131442010-10-11T19:39:30.115+02:002010-10-11T19:39:30.115+02:00ROTFL!!
OMG, I so understand you!
I live in Greece...ROTFL!!<br />OMG, I so understand you!<br />I live in Greece and a lot of people actually speak English enough to get by, so any book including the word "Lover" in the cover is sometimes the object of ridicule! lol<br />I remember when I was reading Lover Eternal and the other books of the Black Dagger Brotherhood by J.R. Ward... hehe, some of the younger men were kinda snickering! lolKelly aka yllektra(I Work For Books)https://www.blogger.com/profile/12649481346262496843noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2396167546862628166.post-90050924674900123002010-10-11T19:01:35.317+02:002010-10-11T19:01:35.317+02:00@ Fi-chan: everybody has English in school today, ...@ Fi-chan: everybody has English in school today, but there are indeed lots of people who only know the basics nonetheless.<br />@ all of you:<br />Thanks for your encouragement!

I tell them the title then I get the blank stare. Then they ask what its about, like their going to read it. <br />But, I now have a kindle so the only question I get is "What is that?" The name of the book I'm reading never crosses their mind.

For ex. romance book are considered porn in the christian world. I have to be careful with what I read. Because of course of the sex, lauguage, etc that is in the book. I mostly read YA. Sometimes I will feature out and read something different. Don't get me wrong, I love romances. When I do read it as soon as it get to a bad sex scene, I skip it. I love the plot, the drama, etc. so thhose parts really don;t matter to me. Sometimes I wish it wouldn't be so explicit. But I am not ashamed of what I read. I carry my books with me everywhere. And I take them out everywhere. Where I live were poor. Very poor. So not that many people are literate and don't know what I read. But I love to sit there and tell them all about it. Good Luck with your experiment!Savannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12549790893415179900noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2396167546862628166.post-85697782582170144902010-10-11T16:34:14.453+02:002010-10-11T16:34:14.453+02:00Good luck!
