I recently picked up a couple of new Fiction novels from the library. Reading has recently started to feel empty… but I can’t tell why. maybe by discussing it a bit, I can see where things have gone wrong for me.
I used to love to read. Even in grade school, I remember devouring Anne McCaffrey novels in class, or perusing the adult fiction section of the library while others my age were picking their way through the ‘Teens’ shelf, and if the opportunity were to present itself, I would tear through a new Discworld book in a heartbeat, but I’ve noticed over the years that every book I read has done less and less to sate my appetite…
Lets start with the first book I read. Typically, although I would say that I am a Sci-Fi/Fantasy Geek, I tend to stay away from most of the books in that genre unless I know ahead of time the author, the subject matter, or some good word of mouth, but as I was hurriedly scanning the shelves at the library with the Mankey pulling and screaming and causing a ruckus, I noticed a book that somehow seemed interesting just from the title and the cover to me. I know, I know, ‘never judge a book by its cover’, but I took it home anyway.
