I've read to page 70 (chapter 8) of 1984. Every other page I think "this is boring, I should stop reading." But every page after that I think "no, this is great, keep going."
I think it's because there's been endless description of the world and it is indeed fascinating, but there hasn't been much plot so far. Is it going to pick up.
Do most of you guys only read books you think you'll like? I read novels, plays, poetry all the time that I don't think I'll like (because I think it's worth it for the knowledge gained).
Nah sometimes I read things just because they are considered great by a lot of people and I want to know what all the fuss is about. Sometimes I will end up liking it, but not always.Quote:

I find that if you like a certain book from one publisher or series then you will probably like most of the others. For example, Penguin books, or The Library of America, or Random House's Modern Library.
