I read a lot of books. Most mornings before work I find some time to squeeze in a few pages, some evenings I read myself to sleep. On weekends I usually spend a couple hours a day with my nose in some book.<\/p>\n
But last night when I went to read I groaned.<\/p>\n
Wait, brain, why are you groaning? You read all the time! You love to read!<\/p>\n
Because nothing is interesting! My brain said.<\/p>\n
That’s funny. I have a zillion books, have bought many more in the past few months. Fantasy books, Scifi books, computer books, history books, classic books.<\/p>\n
But my brain is right, nothing has felt interesting lately. The Dragonriders of Pern Trilogy was the last great thing I read. It started off slow, but got better as it went along, by the time I got to the end of the third I said “wow this is great.. OH CRAP IT’S OVER!”<\/p>\n
I picked up Orion Shall Rise<\/u> by Poul Anderson a few weeks ago, looked good but I’m having trouble getting into it, even after 100 pages. And there are a few computer books that I’ve been reading, but I’m not really in the mood for them lately.<\/p>\n
Last night I read a bit in Michael’s Shaman book, but just wasn’t as hooked as I had been when I picked it up last.<\/p>\n
I’m sure it’s not the fault of these books, I just haven’t been in the right mood to take a book seriously.<\/p>\n
I think I need to pick up some more Terry Pratchett or Dan Brown so my brain can take a break from seriousness and just have I-can’t-put-this-book-down fun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
