Re: I read short stories whenever it happens to me. Danae al'Thor Send a noteboard - 22/02/2010 07:44:03 PM
so, basically i haven't had the desire to read anything for about 3 weeks now. i mean, read a book for fun, not the usual stuff i read on a daily basis (news, internet stuff, etc). has anyone here ever had the same? and what do you do to get around it? i'm kind of stuck right now...


I also have a few books on standby for this sort of thing. I've reread them so many times I know bits of them by heart. They range in quality from the very good - Pratchett, Marquez, Tolkien - to the very bad - Nora Roberts.

I used to read Harlequin at times like these, but it's been a while since I went that route. Mostly because I am very unwilling now to shell out for them.

So. Short stories, essay collections, old favourites. If you're trying something new, let it be short. And light-ish. :)

And of course... you could just not try. Leave it be for a while and you might get back to it. Or you might never get back to it? The horror. :O

You could start a new series by listening to the first book's audio version while taking a walk AgentOrange - 21/02/2010 11:50:13 AM 811 Views

I have only had that one time. I think it was brought on by a few bad choices in a row. Tashmere - 21/02/2010 04:59:04 PM 622 Views
