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.
This was how I felt when I was reading Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein.
If you have a past with emotional abuse/neglect from childhood, this book can hit close to home. Some of the pages of my copy of the book are a little warped from a sudden burst of tears. But I’m glad I took my time with it by taking breaks. It was hard but ultimately, for me it was worth it.
