Have you ever read a book that inspired you to take up a cause? What book was it, and what is/was the cause?
I wasn't going to play along today, because I can't think of a book that inspired me to take up a cause. I read for fun and pleasure, and most of those books are not encouraging me to take up a cause. Although, I do like reading books with the theme of a thought provoking cause that the character may be a part of. (I hope that last sentence made sense.) Because, that is one of the reasons I like Barbara Delinsky's latest books, they always have such fascinating themes, but entertaining as well.
What are your feeling about this question today?

I am pretty much with you. I like to read meaningful, thought provoking books but I mainly read for pleasure.
ReplyDeleteI decided against participating in the Musing this week for the same reason...I do enjoy the causes that the characters take up in Delinsky, Picoult, and several other authors I love.
ReplyDeleteThanks for visiting my Monday Memes.
I mostly read books for pleasure too, but once in a while read a memoir that inspires me.
ReplyDeletegosh, we seem to very much agree on this one...even to the point that I almost didn't play because my answer was too dull.
ReplyDeletenot that I saying your is...lol
I feel the same way you do. In fact, I didn't play along this week. I couldn't think of any causes since I read mainly for entertainment, although some of the books are more serious than others.
