Do you ever go into anyone’s home and start browsing their bookshelves?

Why do we do that?

Is it to find a point of commonality with which to start a conversation? To get a book recommendation? Or to find out more about your host, find something out about how they tick?

I venture it is all of those.

I went to my first CrossFit session last night and needed to have some fun today. So I rounded up as many paleo bloggers as I could and asked them a personal question. (Because we all want to know the answers to personal questions, don’t we!)

What are you reading right now?

I’m a bookworm (follow me on Goodreads if you want to know what I’m reading) and learning what other paleos are reading is very, very interesting to me – educational, satisfies my curiosity and heads up some new authors for me to investigate.

Read on and you’ll learn what books crop up over and over again on paleo bedside tables, who likes sci-fi, historical mysteries, and comedy, and whose books you might like to read too.  You might even learn something about the interior life of your favorite blogger. 😉
