Jen, at Crazy For Books, asks this question for the hop this week:
“What keeps you reading beyond the first few pages of a book, and what makes you want to stop reading a book and put it back on the shelf?“
That's a good question, and kind of hard for me. I really think that it has a lot to do with the mood I'm in. If I'm not getting into a book, sometimes I put it down until a different time. Also, if things are moving very slowly and the book is overly descriptive. But there are exceptions to that, also. So, maybe if it's overly descriptive, but the writing is beautiful and lyrical, then that's OK. Also, if it's a historical fiction novel, I'm more patient because that is my favorite. It's mostly a mysterious thing, and sometimes I can't put my finger on it. Also, if it's written for younger kids and it's supposed to be funny -- sometimes I can't deal with the juvenile humor--I will set one down (I did this just recently...) I do have to say, I'm pretty patient and rarely don't finish a book.
Happy Reading! Thanks for stopping by and I hope you come back soon. I'm out of town this weekend, so it might be a while before I can comment on your posts.
