Booking Through Thursday is a blog that has a weekly question with a literary theme. This week’s question:
What do non-reader friends think about your reading habits? Do they understand? Are they sympathetic? Or are they always trying to get you to “get your nose out of that book?”
I am very lucky that I actually don’t have this problem. My husband doesn’t read as much as I do, but he enjoys a good book and understands what it’s like to get lost in a story. My daughter loves reading and has her nose in a book more often than not. My stepson also likes to read, although it’s not his favorite thing. He’s usually playing a video game of some sort, so he doesn’t really care if I’m reading or not. 🙂
The rest of the people around me – they know how much I read, or at least have an inkling. And for the most part, they think it’s kind of awesome. I get asked for book recommendations from time to time because they know I’m a good person to ask.

Life With No Plot 
My family supports my reading love and even encourages me with gift cards to bookstores on special occasions. Part of it is that aren’t sure what I have or haven’t read so they let me pick it out myself! 🙂
I have the same experience with friends who don’t read as much. I’ll get questions about what to read from a lot of people.
