Enjoy reading again

of a decent book to realize that I didn’t enjoy reading it just because I don’t find novels interesting enough anymore. I had a non-fictional book next in the queue and when I finally some days ago decided to quit it with the novel and start reading the other book instead I felt better about reading immediately. Why would I rather get pleasure from reading stories when I can get the same feeling from simply the facts about the world, and, at the same time, broaden my views and increase my knowledge about the world?

Still, I’m not going to quit reading novels but I’ll consider better before starting one.

If at least three of my friends, independently, regardless of the other two, recommend me the same book, then I’ll probably give it a try. Ha ha ha. For now I’ll just let one of my favorite astronomers make me familiar with energy, entropy and emergency…

Jack London’s The Call of the Wild, I kind of cheated because I’ve read it before but it brought me back.

i want to read the last book in c.s. lewis’ space trilogy, but it starts off so terribly wrong. also i think i lost the book…

After reading so many textbooks for school, I can’t even think of reading for pleasure anymore. I tried to read Tess of the D’Urbervilles over the holiday, but couldn’t get through it and resorted to skimming(I’m not proud D:) Anyway, this semester I’ll be taking English so I can combine reading for pleasure with school. The last books I remember enjoying reading were for school anyway (The Handmaid’s Tale and Madame Bovary).

I read a Miguel de Unamuno’s book (don’t remember the name in English) in few days and Jane Eyre (by Charlotte Brontë) even faster even though it’s a much longer book. And usually it takes weeks or even moths for me to finish a book.

At the moment I’m reading two books: ‘Anna minun rakastaa enemmän’ (by finnish writer Juha Itkonen) and ‘Dead souls’ by Nikolai Gogol.
