I love reading but I stress about choosing the next book to read. I've been in a bit of a rut recently and missing reading in my life. I tend to gravitate towards self help books (right now 'recovering from illness' and 'business start up' books, but the theme of my current self help book changes with the seasons of my life though. The genre stays.) I also love a grisy crime novel. I have one of each type downloaded, but neither is rocking my world.
Why do I stress about which book to read next? I don't know. Firstly, there's too much choice. Secondly, books are expensive both in the amount it costs to download and the amount of time they need devoted to them. What if I choose poorly? Also I'm an English Lit graduate and an English teacher, and will admit to some low level snobbery (although Karin Slaughter is helping me with this. I LOVE her books! It doesn't matter if you don't only read literary classics, duh, Claire.)
So, I took a punt on a book I've never read before, recommended by the friend of a friend (someone I don't know) on Facebook.
I'll keep you posted...
Claire
