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.
No I live for that stuff. If the book can actually evoke dramatic and psychological tension in a palpable way, it’s probably an excellent book.
I had a hard time plugging my way through We Need To Talk About Kevin.
Not necessarily because it was ALL dark or intense… but really uncomfortable just the same
