What do you do when you struggle to get into a book you are reading? I very rarely don’t finish a book but I hate when one book slows down my reading momentum because I just can’t get into it. I never used to be someone who would read multiple books at once, other than maybe a paper book and and audio book. But currently I have four books open because I am so stinkin bored with two of them! One of the books is Stephen King and I absolutely refuse to give up on King!
The King book I’m having issues with is Misery. It’s just not spooky and creepy like the books he usually writes. The creep factor is what I look forward to with King and so far this is just BLAH! I do have to say, I also had a few issues with Pet Sematary so I’m slightly concerned that maybe Stephen King just isn’t for me and that just is not ok! i have to be into Stephen King’s books… I just have to! Years ago I set a goal of reading all of his books and seeing how I probably own half of them I’ve gotta get more excited about him!
So heres the plan… I will read a little everyday so I don’t feel like I have to deprive myself of reading a book I like until I’m done with Misery. Then hopefully the next King book I pick up will boost me into a Stephen King obsession that I know must be waiting for me! I hope reading a bit at a time is good plan and not like a reading assignment in school because if that’ the case I will end up despising this book! Fingers crossed Misery picks up or I find a way to get through it!
Did you like Misery? What do you do when you don’t like a book you’re reading but you just have to finish it?!
