If you are an avid reader like me, I'm hoping you can shed some light on something that happens to me more and more often these days.
I am one of those people that, given enough time, can read a book in a day, or at least a book a week. Well, a normal book, not Anna Karenina. That one took a while... Anyway, the point is that I can read a lot and usually do. I also read several books at a time just to keep things interesting. But sometimes I will finish a book and be completely unable to pick and commit to a new book to read. It's not that they're not good books that I choose - I picked one up yesterday and got completely sucked in until I had to take the dogs out, then totally ignored it the rest of the night.
Am I crazy or does this happen to other people, too?
I hope I'm not crazy.
Sometimes I can figure out what some of the contributing factors are. The last two weeks of work have been kind of crazy, so I cut my lunch breaks short to make sure my work gets done, so I couldn't read at lunch. And now that school's out, my husband is working during the day, so he's been a distraction in the evenings when I come home. Normally, however, I'm really good at tuning him out.
Right now I am staring at three books that want me to finish reading them. Is there a cure for a book blockage??
