www.thegrits.com's Interests
|
| General | My interests are books, books, and more books! When I am not involved with all the daily operations of thegrits.com, I am a contributing Editor for the Written Voices literary column at AAKultureZone.com | | Music | I can listen to all types of Jazz 24/7. My favorite Jazz station is Smooth Jazz 95.7 - The Wave! But I have to say that when I'm doing some serious reading, it is classical music all the way for this reading diva! | | Movies | I love movies! But those books adapted for film are my favorite! | | Television | When I'm not reading and surfing the Internet, I'm a HUGE Law & Order, SVU, Criminal Intent, and Lincoln Heights fan! | | Books | There's not enough space for me to list all of the excellent books I've enjoyed over the years. But I will say that my all time favorite 20th Century writer is Langston Hughes. But just in case you'd like to see what I've been reading over the years, do a search for - thegritsdotcom - at the following book lovers social networks to see my online catalog of books: aNobii.com, GoodReads.com, LibraryThing.com, Shelfari.com |
