Okay - I picked the lazy topic for this week's blog. I admit it. Go on - yell at my laziness. What actually made me come up with these are thinking about how these lists like this can and do change - in my case quite often. The past couple of weeks have seen an uptick in those "Tell me about yourself posts". You know - those that usually start with how many tattoos you have, your favorite color (0, Chicago Bears Blue) and so on. I freely admit they are fun, especially when they are fresh and new. My favorite song change weekly, depending on the play list of the radio station I listen to. My favorite color has not changed since I realized the Bears uniforms were dark blue, not black.
Song lyrics as a whole - I have always loved Turn Turn Turn by the Byrds . My favorite single line of lyrics is from a song by the Association written by Terry Kirkman - the opening line of Everything That Touches You - In my most secure moments I still can't believe I'm sharing those moments with you.
As a voracious reader I have been known to binge read an entire book series on occasion. Were I to re-read any of those series it would be the Harry Dresden series by Jim Butcher or the Travis McGee series by John D MacDonald. One I wouldnot bother with is the Steven Saylor series featuring Gordianus theFinder -,a mustery series set in ancient Rome. Why? The Lindsay Thomas series featuring Marcus Didius Falco is simply much more enjoyable.
Hands down, my favorite recent movie is John Wick 3 - Parbellum. I hope Kenu Reeves hasstoh movies are great popcorn flicks with absurdly overdone violence and fight scenes. Keanu Reeves is in his element. I admit my movie going is way down since Lynn died as we used to every Sunday. Now once every couple of months is about it.
That's a quick toe in the entertainment water these days. Clearly my tastes are not particularly sophisticated - just like when I was a kid a good shoot'em up keeps me happy and the same is somewhat true in literature. i do read the occasional non-fiction book but I am far happier in the made up worlds of fiction.
Se ya next week for another 2-on-1 blog in which my blogging buddy Ramana offers an eastern take on that topoic while I am the western flavor.

Your choice of song and book series comes as no surprise to me but, your choice of movie does. I somehow could not have guessed that you would be a Keanu Reeves fan. haven't seen a movie in a long long time. Ever since my COPD acted up and I found walking a problem, I have stopped going to movies and I don't watch them on the TV except if insisted on by the children. I haven't seen any recently.
