The danger in picking the wrong book
I’m reading a book by an author I’ve read before (and liked). I’m reading a book John really enjoyed. I’m reading a book I’m enjoying, but I can’t seem to find the time to read it. That is a sign that I’m not in the right head space for this book. When I REALLY enjoy what I’m reading, I can’t put it down.* I find the time to read. I read when I should be going to sleep, when I’m making dinner, between commercials when we’re watching TV, at red lights in the car. I started this book two weeks ago, and I’m only 30% in. I like it, I really do. I guess I’m just not in the mood. But I’m NOT going to put it down. I don’t give up that easily.
*I almost wrote “When I’m reading a book I can’t put down, I can’t put it down.” Duh.
