Reading
Posted in Books on 11/26/2007 06:23 am by enjanerdI’ve been loving the library these past couple months, but I’m also finding myself not finishing very many books. I need something more along the lines of Netflix. I don’t mind having only one book out at a time, but I can’t be constrained to these timetables. I was doing pretty well the first few weeks finishing books within the allotted 3 weeks. But then I started putting new/popular books on hold, which meant that when my turn came around, I only had them for 2 weeks. This wasn’t too bad at first, but then I mis-timed some of the books and had a backlog. And with only 2 weeks, I wasn’t finishing or keeping up with all the reading. Not to mention I was also trying to be a little studious.
So the last few books I’ve borrowed, I haven’t finished. And I’m debating whether they were good enough to buy or if I should just put my name back on the list to borrow again. I feel … unwhole having so many unfinished books in my brain. But if a book isn’t interesting enough to finish within that time frame, is it worth spending the time reading? Should I just move on to something that will hold my attention? Do I just read too slowly? So many questions…
