You know, I love to read lavish, flowing descriptions of setting and things that bring the story to life for me. What I don't like are "technical" type details which I've run into mostly in books other than romance. Maybe that's why I've become such an avid romance reader. : )Carol Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01785763553860442948noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-31079247.post-51982025809243958932010-05-21T16:34:55.599-04:002010-05-21T16:34:55.599-04:00Hi, Carol Ann!

I was just thinking about that "what to leave out" issue. <br />Some authors I enjoy are very terse, and others are beautifully lavish in their descriptions--they make you feel like you're really there. How to choose?<br />Well, I realized while re-reading one of my favorite books that I read for the exciting story first, and then if it's really great, I read it again for the description!<br /> The one thing that can't be lacking is the story. I'll skip over a ton of description that first time, but if I love the story, eventually I'll get around to those grace notes I missed before. <br />Makes it almost like reading a whole new book!<br /><br />SaraleeAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
