threemonkeysFollowing on the non reading problem. The thing is that I pick up a book, read a couple of pages and then put it down. I just can't engage.
Well that was how it worked all week. So today I tried another tack. I got some very short stories - specifically I got ASIM 18. The idea being that by the time I had read the few pages I would have finished a story. No need to engage further - that is all that is needed. Just like squirting ether into a car engine to start it on a cold morning.
It worked pretty well. I read ASIM 18 this morning in 4 short sessions. But that got the ball rolling and I was then able to read 100 pages or so of the Alastair Reynolds book.
Just by the way - ASIM 18 - really very good.
