BTT: Electronic vs. Paper

Today's Booking Through Thursday exhorts us to stray from the usual path (posting on your blog, then linking the post to the BTT blog through comments) and to actually conduct a discussion on the BTT blog itself.

( Why I find this amusing below the cut )

BTT: Sing! Sing a Song

Something different for Booking Through Thursday today, and frankly, I could use this difference:

But, enough about books … Other things have words, too, right? Like … songs!

If you’re anything like me, there are songs that you love because of their lyrics; writers you admire because their songs have depth, meaning, or just a sheer playfulness that has nothing to do with the tunes.

So, today’s question?

* What songs … either specific songs, or songs in general by a specific group or writer … have words that you love?
* Why?
* And … do the tunes that go with the fantastic lyrics live up to them?

You don’t have to restrict yourself to modern songsters, either … anyone who wants to pick Gilbert & Sullivan, for example, is just fine with me. Lerner & Loewe? Steven Sondheim? Barenaked Ladies? Fountains of Wayne? The Beatles? Anyone at all…

Meme: Not-BTT

So BTT was not really interesting to me today (I can't remember the topic, and I can't be bothered to find the post), so I thought I'd toss out my own reading-related question:

What's the best thing you've read this year? Yes, I mean in 2009.

BTT: New Year's Resolutions

I've skipped at least one of these--I was a bit busy last Thursday--but am happy to let the first post of the new year go to Booking Through Thursday!

BTT: Treat & Generosity

Booking Through Thursday features a double shot today; I think one of these was meant for next week, but I'll do them both now. They actually go together.

BTT: Time is of the Essence

As the weather gets colder and the holiday To Do lists get longer, I think Booking Through Thursday gets concerned with issues of reading and time.

1. Do you get to read as much as you WANT to read?

(I’m guessing #1 is an easy question for everyone?)

2. If you had (magically) more time to read–what would you read? Something educational? Classic? Comfort Reading? Escapism? Magazines?

( If I had all the time in the universe... )

BTT: 5 for Favorites

I'm glad that today's Booking Through Thursday comes in handy list form: I need structure to survive when end of term rolls around!
