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.
Oh, absolutely! Ruth Ozeki is one of my fave authors but I’m CREEPING through The Book of Form and Emptiness because some of the themes just hit too close to home right now. I adore her writing but I read a few pages or a chapter and then have to put it back down for weeks…
