Weird question maybe but I find myself being so sensitive at times that I have to put down the book I’m reading and wait some time before I read again.
It can be for example when it all is looking dark and I don’t think thing are going to turn around. It’s silly I guess but I feel so overwhelmed and nervous that I need a break at times.
I’m reading the last chapter in Simon Scarrows book The honor of Rome. Reading the last chapters and I just know things are going to go bad. Or at least I fear it will so I have to take a break before reading again.
I know it’s silly but wondered if someone else felt the same at times.
Ironically, “Intensity” by Dean Koontz, and the first few times I read “The Shining” by Stephen King.
100% agree on Intensity. I’ve been chasing that scared rush ever since.
Haha, that’s the first book I thought of in this post, Intensity!!! I had to get up every couple of minutes just to check again whether all my doors and windows were locked. What a ride that book is!
I was getting frequent stomachaches in 4th grade and it took me way too long to figure out that it only happened when I was reading a book by Stephen King about someone on the receiving end of an autopsy while they were still alive. It was a short story, but I never finished it.
