I think I finished 7 other books before I finally finished that book. But when you take it a little at a time, it isn't so bad. I've been reading for 2 months and I'm barely 200 pages in T_T; | ||

Some say their prose is awkward and foreign-sounding as a result of too-literal translation. If it's hard for you to read, try a different translation. It could also be that you are simply not ready for War and Peace. How old are you? What books have you enjoyed? | ||

![[image loading]](http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/51PZYZPX01L._SS500_.jpg) ![[image loading]](http://www.enteringthemindseye.com/BradburySpeaks.JPG) I'm currently reading Michael Frayn's book but it's really hard to get into. He goes off on tangents and it reads like one long rant. Same can be said for the Bradbury book. Essays are not their strong point, they should stick to fiction  Oh and this one: ![[image loading]](http://www.textbooksrus.com/book_pics_large/0060840838.jpg) So far it's alright. It's pretty funny with some nice insights into the porn industry. However, a lot of it is just Ron bragging about his Hollywood friends and connections (and, surprisingly, not about his penis!) | ||

Thing is, I can never get excited about reading. I've never read a book that actually made me emotional, or made me think hard on something, or anything. In TV or movies I can get excited, nervous, feel inspired, etc., but I have yet to read a book that makes me feel that way. Because of that, I tend not to read. Books just don't entertain me as much. 1984, To Kill A Mockingbird, Brave New World, Frankenstein, none of them created any emotion in me whatsoever. I just get bored whenever I read. | ||

They drown out posts where people actually have something to say, they add nothing valuable, and they make this thread much harder to read. Are we zombies who can no longer function without nonstop in-your-face visual stimulation? I actually like when pepole post the pics because searching my public library is silly and having the pictures to match the books is great when searching seeing as anytime i do search for a book it seems there are 300 other books by the same name. It keeps runing and running and runnin' run on sentence for the winzor | ||
