The brainchild of Arlee Bird, at Tossing it Out
|
When someone says they have a voracious ANYTHING, that makes me stop and pay attention. The word conjures up images of Tom Jones and his eating habits
or Tyrannosaurs Rex and his.
If someone tells me they’re a voracious reader I picture them buried under a pile of books . . . some of them mine. Dream on, Lee!

I'm rather weirdly voracious about TV and movies. I watch all the time, although even with a zillion satellite channels, sometimes I can't find anything good to watch. But that's okay – I'll watch bad stuff. ๐

Books, Thai food, and chocolate.

Books and ice cream. ๐

A great word, similar to ravenous, which brings up the same connotations. Now, I'm veracious about getting the word out about my book and getting it into many people's hands. Writerโs Mark

I love the word 'voracious.' I'd like to see a few of my books in that voracious reader's stack, too ๐
C. Lee McKenzie says
A writer's dream!

I'm voracious about books – reading and writing them. I would add tea to the list too, because it's very difficult to function without it!
C. Lee McKenzie says
Anything that helps with the writing is good.

I guess I'm voracious about my daydreams/writing and astronomy. The things I do for both…

I'm voracious about roller coasters – riding them and knowing everything about them.

Knowing about them I can do. Riding them is another matter.

Books and movies mostly. Still love to disappear into another world. after all these years.

Moody Writing

Wanting to disappear into another world is understandable. More and more I like to pretend I'm elsewhere.

lostinsidethecovers says
that t-rex picture is funny – I guess I am a voracious reader, though lately it is more a voracious sleeper, I can't get enough! Weird, that doesn't really feel like it makes sense. Voracious appetite for sleep? hmmmmm
C. Lee McKenzie says
Sleep? What's that? ๐
John Wiswell says
Voracious t-rex? Haha, I like that image.
C. Lee McKenzie says
T-Rex is the poster boy for this word.
Bish Denham says
I had a bet going with myself that you'd be posting about the word vivacious. I lost, but I don't know which me. When I think of voracious, food certainly does come to mind as well as my dog wolfing down her meal.
C. Lee McKenzie says
Vivacious is a prettier word. Thanks. I think you gave me a compliment, Bish.
J.L. Campbell says
Yeah, voracious does speak to food with me.
C. Lee McKenzie says
I'm getting hungry just posting about this word.

I'll go with thinker, like Al did, and add cats to the voracious list. ๐
C. Lee McKenzie says
Oh, yes. Cats have to be on the list, too.

I have a voracious appetite for buying Kindle books. I have so many lined up it's getting absurd!
C. Lee McKenzie says
A great device!
Angela Brown says
Voracious. It's such an aggressive yet poetic word. Commands attention. I'm voracious about chocolate and sweet things. Currently, I'm holding a daily STA (sweet things anonymous) meeting each morning to remind myself not to eat everything sweet. ๐
C. Lee McKenzie says
If you need an intervention call me. I'll get that sweet stuff out of your house for you. ๐
Michael Di Gesu says
Well,
WIth me it's all about beauty… of any kind. Flowers, palm trees swaying in a subtle breeze, a child's laughter, a puppy wagging his tail, a moonlit night … that sort of thing.
C. Lee McKenzie says
A voracious romantic!
DEZMOND says
I'm voracious about creativity and also about nice and hot people ๐
C. Lee McKenzie says
That's why you love the movies, Dezmond!
Al Diaz says
I'm voracious thinker. I'm always thinking, always pondering, always riddling and unriddling mysteries and facts of life. Even asleep I'm discussing something.
C. Lee McKenzie says
Dragons are like that. That's what makes them so powerful.
Mere Joyce says
I was actually thinking of using this word for V as well! Such a wonderful descriptor, =)
C. Lee McKenzie says
It's an obvious word choice, but I'm at the end of this marathon and running out of originality.
Alex J. Cavanaugh says
I'm voracious about my guitar playing! And Hot Tamales.
C. Lee McKenzie says
That's quite a combination, but quite understandable!
