I’m probably reading someone else’s books. I read at least ten a month, sometimes more.
I went back to school for a year when I was about 27, in classes with 17 and 18 year olds (mostly from New Jersey). The young man behind me in business math class BRAGGED that he had never read a book that he wasn’t forced to read.
Have you read the book or just seen the films? Laurie isn’t in love with Amy at the beginning; he just hangs around her because she’s a face from home. Months go by and he realizes he wasn’t actually really in love with Jo–it was just “puppy love.” As the months go by he realizes Amy suits him better and falls in love with him. Remember, they are in Europe for a very long time, a year at least. You didn’t take “the Grand Tour” and just come home in a couple of weeks.
Vincent D’Onofrio has a book of…not fiction, but some odd, but sometimes very funny free verse. He calls it his “spewings.” It’s called Mutha.
Brent Spiner has one out called Fan Fiction which is based on his years as Data on Star Trek: the Next Generation.
Well, he’s a politician. What did you expect? 😉
He is. He endorsed my Remember WENN web site.
I’ve got an entire web site devoted to Remember WENN.
Rupert has two other books out, Swing (in which he says the protagonist is Scott Sherwood’s older “white sheep” brother) and Where the Truth Lies. The sequel to Murder Your Employer is in process. It’s called Murder Your Mate.
Is there anywhere you can go to not be distracted? I grew up in a tiny house so I know it’s sometimes hard to get away from distractions in a small living space. I guess I would need to know what distracts you.
You may also have ADHD. I have friends with it and they love to read but could not concentrate. Their doctors used a combination of medication (for school only) and anti-distraction techniques to help them. One of these friends is a young woman just turning 30 and she is now self-publishing on Amazon.
Marguerite Henry horse books.
If she likes wordplay, The Phantom Tollbooth.
