Weigh in Wednesday (#3)

Weight in Wednesday is a weekly meme hosted by Epilogue.

Today's topic is: Poetry vs Prose

First, I've only ever read one book that has been written in poetry format, and that was Heartbeat by Sharon Creech, and I fell in love INSTANTLY. OK, so the truth is, this book belonged to one of my teachers (back when I was younger) and I was reading it in class, and took it home to finish. Of course, that's when I fell in love and couldn't let go. Fair enough? Besides I was just a kid *bows head in shame*. Anyway, aside from that, most of the books I read generally all have prose, but then again, it's not like you see many poetic novels out there. In fact, I wanted to write my own 'poetic' novel! In the end I have to say I love both. I can't choose between either.

What about you? What do you prefer? (By the way, if you know some poetic novels, let me know about them!)

Today's topic is:

Today's topic: Novellas Vs. Anthologies

For me personally, short stories are not very satisfying. In all my time, I've read a few good ones (The End of the Game by Julio Cortazar) but the majority either lack action, or are good enough to leave me wanting more, but I don't get more. Make sense? I prefer Novellas because they're just greater in length, thus, greater in all other things. Romance, action, adventure, etc.. That's all there is to it. Well, there is the fact that I love holding a novella and thinking about all that might go on through the story, but I can't do that with Anthologies.

What about YOU? Do you prefer Novellas or Anthologies?

Today's topic is:
Love Triangles Vs. Insta-love
OK, so in my opinion, both are pretty sucky. I mean, I hate it when in a book, there are two guys, and the one you were rooting for does not end up as the IT man. That is one of the biggest downers for me. I mean, a little competition doesn't hurt, but when things start to get to triangular, then I hate it. Poor Gale.... Also, with Instant love, it just feels to abrupt, cliché, and wrong. I prefer it when the two get to know each other a little. They don't need to get too friendly straightaway. So in the end, though I hate both, I would pick love triangles over Instant love. Why? Because At least love triangles can be a little fun.
