Fads and Fancies
Do you find you have reading "fixes" you just have to indulge in for a while?
I find I read in cycles. There will be periods when all I will want to read are magazine articles. Other times I will want to read short stories. Then again I will have periods when it is nothing but crime I read and so on.
Equally there are times when nothing but "proper" books will do. Other times you can't prise me away from my Kindle!
Mood of story varies too. There are times I really have to read anything funny. This is particularly true when the news in unremittingly grim. The value of books and stories for escapism should not be under-appreciated or looked down on. Being able to escape for a while I think is good for you.
When I come out from that kind of reading, I tend to go for "nothing but the facts Ma'am" and I catch up with my non-fiction TBR pile.
There is ALWAYS a TBR pile. (I've got one on the Kindle too. The advantage with that one is it can't topple over!).
So what do I fancy reading later tonight then? Hmm... decisions, decisions (but such nice ones to make!).
