My reading! It’s dropped off, at least my pleasure reading. In the past few weeks I’ve returned five or six novels after giving each no more than thirty pages a try; novels with copyrights of the last three of four years. I just don’t care about the characters’ problems, undoubtedly due in part to the discrepancy in their ages and mine. I'd like to add--no depth.
So, this afternoon I perused the library stacks, including the Librarians Choice shelf, and checked out a few books to try. My criteria, first and foremost was to apply the old adage: You can tell a book by its cover. Next, I read the blurb on the cover. If that appealed, I gave the first page a try. So here I am with five books. So far, so good.
