Book worm
Filed in Everything on Sep.26, 2008
I don’t give up easily on books. Normally if I’m struggling to get into a book I’ll persevere and eventually get to the good part. But not All The Pretty Horses. It has to have been the dullest book I ever read, no kidding. Nothing happened and it’s written in this really dull tone.
I read The Road by Cormac McCarthy and it was pretty much the same but stuff happened in that book and I really enjoyed it. ATPH was not the same at all and though I say I’ll go back to it I really don’t see myself enjoying it anymore second time round.
So I’ve started on Neil Gaiman’s American Gods and so far I’m enjoying it much more, though it’s a bit surreal and I’m not entirely sure what it’s gonna be about. But that’s good!

I have that problem with most books I try and read, if I'm honest. My attention span is shot, I guess

I think you're right, sadly
I can't remember the last time I got through a whole novel, which upsets me since people I know keep assuming I'm really well-read for some reason.
Oh yeah, I have a blog sort of thing now too (well an LJ, but shh). Click my name, if you want to read meandering updates about nothing

So it'll be just like talking to you in person but I have to read it?
Did you manage to get the PSP stuff yet? (I should really have asked this before I insulted you :P)

Well my mate was dithering a bit so I'm looking into rebuilding the memory stick myself. I've asked an online friend for help in finding the exact files I used to have, so with any luck I'll have it sorted out tomorrow and could meet you sometime in the week to try it out.
