How does a book rec meme work?

5 EASY STEPS TO REC SUCCESS:

1. Find the genre/type of book you're looking for in the comments! The following genre/types are listed in alphabetical order:
   
   Chick Lit
   Children's and Young Adult Lit
   Classics
   Contemporary Literature
   Fantasy
   Historical Fiction
   Horror
   Manga, Comics, and Graphic Novels
   Mystery/Detective/Crime
   Non-Fiction
   Romance
   Science Fiction
   Thrillers
   and "Other" (For any genre or type not already listed.)
   
   
2. Click 'reply to this' on the comment with the genre you're looking for. If you're recommending a book, type "RECCING" in the Subject line of your comment. If you're requesting a recommendation, type "REQUESTING".
   
3. Either copy, paste, and fill out the handy forms provided, or describe in your own words the book you're recommending or looking to read.
   
4. Browse the other recommendations that have already been left. Read the rec requests other participants have left, and make suggestions for books you think they might like.
   
5. Share the love! ♥ Copy and paste the following code into your journal to send your friends to the meme:
   
   <a href="http://apple-pathways.livejournal.com/76281.html"><img src="http://pics.livejournal.com/apple_pathways/pic/000akqeh"></a>
   
   

It's that easy! ;)

Just remember:

* Keep it civil, or suffer the consequences! (Consequences TBD, but may include deletion, bannination, or unsightly rash.)
* DO NOT "Post a new comment"! To keep things tidy, please post all comments as a reply to an existing comment. Misplaced comments will be removed: it doesn't mean you're a bad person. :P
* If you need to ask me something or get my attention, either PM me or post a reply under the "Questions" thread, otherwise I may not see it.

Happy Reading! ♥

Name: Something no one uses unless I don't like them enough to bother telling them my nickname
But you can call me: Jobey (Congrats! You are very likeable)
My favorite genres: Mystery/Detective/Crime, Classics, and probably "Other". I read a lot of YA for work as well.
Classic or contemporary?: Probably classic... ish.
Non-fiction?: When I'm punishing myself
The five books I own I'd save from a fire: I'd probably spring for them again no problem, but, in the spirit of the question, let's say: The Man Who Was Thursday, Till We Have Faces, The Green Mile, Hrotsvitha's plays in helpfully emended Latin, and No More Dead Dogs (hey, it's signed by the author). Of course, in the middle of the night I'm sure to wake up and wonder why I forgot to put such-and-such title on this list.
My favorite character(s) from a book: Do we really have this much time?
Wherein I wax poetic about my love for books: Stories can keep you alive, brother. And books are the portable version of this life support.
