Reading Rut




I recently got an account on www.goodreads.com. It's a website where you and your friends post about books you've read, are currently reading, or would like to read. I love seeing what friends have on their lists, and I like to see how they liked a book or not. I value their opinions and suggestions on a good book. It's interesting to see how alike our tastes are, and also how different.

I enjoy a good book, but have been having problems getting into one. So, I have read the first chapter of many books, only to discover..... I'M NOT INTERESTED!!! I just assume if i don't like the first chapter, i won't like the book.......

FINALLY! A breakthrough! I just started to read To Kill A Mockingbird....... a "high school read" that was never assigned to me. I am loving it. I am only a few chapters in, but i know already that this is the book I am actually going to read. I really didn't know anything about the story prior to starting. The back of the book only has one sentence pertaining to the contents. The rest, about the author. Often, I find myself loving both books and movies, that I have no information on. That way i don't have an idea in my head how the story will go, and if i think i am going to like it or not.
