And I agree, it's absolutely possible to duplicate memes and features without knowing it, and sometimes I wish people were a little less quick to point fingers without doing the work to investigate intent/history. But the thing is, if it wasn't inspired by someone else, should you really have to credit them? I'm not sure. We don't do any memes on our blog, but that's something that's puzzled me, especially if it's not a well-known/popular meme.<br /><br />Great discussion, though. And I back up the first commenter with recommending David Sedaris!<br /><br />Wendy @ <a href="http://www.themidnightgarden.net" rel="nofollow">The Midnight Garden</a>Wendy Darlinghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13471461156849725177noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-8152231424809704402013-06-03T20:24:01.804-04:002013-06-03T20:24:01.804-04:00I can't remember the last time I read a nonfic...I can't remember the last time I read a nonfiction book! I like to read to escape too, and generally that means I'm reading YA novels where the characters don't have to worry about things like paying back loans, finding a job, etc. A Canadian Girlhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07127164685941412250noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-80184617225205189442013-06-01T19:39:48.028-04:002013-06-01T19:39:48.028-04:00I also want to read Devil in the White City!

It's a very gripping, scary read detailing what happened when the author started experiencing symptoms of this really rare autoimmune disease. I pretty much couldn't put it down, but then I am a sucker for books involving the brain and neuroscience :D danyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07947267082874389487noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8478898940547681471.post-63655590922007442712013-05-31T18:44:06.640-04:002013-05-31T18:44:06.640-04:00I hear you on not wanting to read much non-fiction...I hear you on not wanting to read much non-fiction. I read to escape, and non-fic really isn't!<br /><br />I did just read Queen Bees and Wannabes though. It was really helpful for understanding the dynamics of girl groups.
