Mostly, I just grab whatever catches my eye. I think these eras are the books that I end up loving the most though.<br /><br />Al - I love Victorian England but I'm not sure if I would ever feel confident enough to write something in that time period. I always think I would just default and do something modern.<br /><br />Tracy - I rarely read back-to-back too because I think it will cause me to compare books more than I want to. I also just want a different experience after a few days.<br /><br />Andreea - Good choices!<br /><br />Jenners - I saw someone else who had a 100+ year period for one of their choices. I guess we define era in different ways!Kristen M.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02335598194501733541noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-18904490045686438552010-04-24T17:24:50.728-07:002010-04-24T17:24:50.728-07:00Those are really really specific eras! : )Those are really really specific eras! : )Jennershttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08044537551139633301noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-25436732902745498172010-04-23T07:15:17.547-07:002010-04-23T07:15:17.547-07:00I have so many eras that I like to read about but ...I have so many eras that I like to read about but since I am allowed to name only three, I will say that these are: 1.Victorian Era (my favorite of all) 2.Between the two World Wars 3.Regency Period<br /><br />I just loved books that are set in the past.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-88409319490122316202010-04-23T05:50:32.874-07:002010-04-23T05:50:32.874-07:00I try to read about a different era each time. So ...I try to read about a different era each time. So if I've just finished a Victorian era novel, I'll read a modern one or a Roman one or something sufficiently different (so Victorian then Georgian is too similar) I don't really have a favourite era though, as long as a book captures my imagination I'll read it no matter which era or country it's set in. So at the moment I'm re-reading Catch 22, but I'll probably follow that with The Death of Vishnu by Manil Suri.Tracyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03070070360087765540noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-754919688510890076.post-88926176710855269532010-04-23T03:05:28.072-07:002010-04-23T03:05:28.072-07:00I agree, everything else.

I've never shared era taste with anyone before. <br />I'm still trying to work out what my "favorite" type of book is, let alone era, though. I'm trudging through the classics to see what it's all about. When I grow up, maybe I'll know. :)paigehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11771871442051868808noreply@blogger.com
