Berkano's Writing about reading blog

I like reading books that are long enough to have allot of suspense and plot build-up in them but not so long that it just seems to drag on and on.. I like long marvelously interesting and pretty complicated books best. If they aren't complicated that they tend to be quite boring to read.

If I don't find the beginning of a book interesting then i will try to think of really weird things that could happen or only read the book in a place that i really like to be, like my aunts house. That way i can look forward to reading the book because of where i am when I'm reading it. If i find it confusing i will read the blurb or re-read the pages or the 'notes from the Author' if the book has a section like that.

If my ideal reading space is crowded, noisy or too distracting then i tend not to cope very well. I might try ear-plugs, but if people are dancing around all over the place they don't really help. It can be incredibly frustrating to me when 'my reading space' is being invaded. Some times i go onto my roof or on a walk to get as far away from the distraction in as possible, then go back when i'm ready to try reading again or when thing have calmed down a little.

I read fiction because it offers me an escape from the troubles and stresses of everyday life. Like a little world that i can run away to by sitting in a quiet place and reading a book. I suppose it's like dreaming accept the dream is already set in stone, figuratively speaking. It can be wonderfully entertaining and bewitching if the book is enjoyable for me. I read fiction because if i didn't then life would be without dreams or wishes. Fiction is what lets my imagination wander and explore every possibility in life.
