Today’s Book Blogger Hop question is: When meeting with friends, do your discussions usually turn to books?

Oh yes…definitely!  I mean, there’s a reason we’re friends…  I wouldn’t say I talk about books with my friends a majority of the time (even at my book club meetings, since our conversations tend to range across all geeky topics and, occasionally, life).  But I think it’s rare to have an extended conversation that doesn’t bring up books at some point.  That becomes even more true if you count discussions of the books we’re writing, as I have a good number of writer friends and that’s a major topic.

Basically, my friends tend to be people who will ask (and can be asked) the question, “Read any good books lately?” and it’s not a throw-away, small-talk question at all!
