I realize I don’t quite fit the demographics for his novels. That doesn’t bother me. I rather enjoy telling people, “Actually, I have read every book Nicholas Sparks has written.” Women usually say, “Really?” as they furrow their brow and question my sexuality; while most guys are like, “Who?” Aside from the ability to tout such an accomplishment, I do in fact enjoy his sappy North Carolina based romantic love stories where the guy always gets the girl – even if he loses her in the end. I’m not ashamed of being a hopeless romantic. Don’t get me wrong, I still love the smell of 2-stroke motor oil and have considered wearing WD-40 as cologne; I just happen to find his work entertaining.
Yesterday marked a banner day for all Nicholas Sparks fans as his 14th book, “The Lucky One” went on sale! I promptly made my way to Borders after work and have the 326 pages of hardbound bliss in my grubby little mitts! Unfortunately, I have to finish another book before I will allow myself to start this one. Talk about motivation for finishing a book you've not been enjoying! I just hope one box of Kleenex is enough!
