So, after I got myself all organized to start reading regularly again, I somehow chose a series of books which did nothing but bore me and, ultimately, somehow manage to completely turn me off reading - a feeling I've never experienced in my entire life. Well done Paulo Coehlo and well, non-fiction in general.
A week or so ago my aunt told me about a John Grisham book which is partly set in my grandmother's home town in Italy. Aside from being interested in reading a book set in the lovely city of Treviso, I wondered if John Grisham could be the perfect little piece of brain candy to get me back into reading. Hardly a literary genius, sometimes plowing through a quick little mystery is the shot of adrenaline that makes the heart start pumping again. I also requested Le Suite Francaise - when in doubt, return to a tried and true friend - the World War II love/war story.
I think I'll also stop in for The Nanny Diaries. Mindless chick lit. Will hardly make me feel intellectual, but if it returns me to reading, it will be worth it.
If there are any other recommendations for interesting (non-science) fiction works, I'm taking suggestions!
