You know how you get a books sometimes, and you just can't put it down, so you stay up all night reading it, despite what you may be doing that day? I really miss that feeling. I remember that I used to feel that very often a long time ago, but now I can't remember any specific instances. I mean, I remember staying up all night reading Twilight the first four times I had read it, but I just don't get that involved in a book anymore. I read all these reviews about books that I had really like and people say, "I couldn't put it down," Well that's not my problem, I have no problem putting books down. I'm not saying I don't love reading, because I do, but it just has started to seem more like a means to an end, than actually enjoying it. Well, that's not true, I do enjoy them, but I don't get completely sucked into a book like I used to.
I also never get that feeling, oh I wish that book was longer, or I wish it had a sequel, because I know if it was longer, it would drag, and if it had a sequel it would suck, so I'm kind of at a loss. I think I might need a new genre. I have read every teen and adult paranormal romance, so it's getting to the point where they're lost on me. I've read about witches, faeries, vampires, elves, werewolves, angels, and demons. Is there nothing else? When I read books that aren't paranormal, and just about regular teens, I'm bored. I'm struggling to get through The Last Song, and although it's a beautiful story; I CAN'T GET THROUGH IT! This is the second time I've taken it out of the library, and it still isn't doing much for me. I know I'll finish it eventually, but i just don't know.
Maybe I'll start on Horror. This might snap me out of it. I mean I read Othello, and I couldn't put it down, but I definitely wanted to find out what happens. Maybe I'll start there. Well I don't know, this is just one of those rantings/pity parties for no good reason.
