No, honest.
I give you permission
to stop reading my book.
We are killing the joy of reading
by forcing ourselves to read
a book in which we have stalled.
Sometimes the book isn’t bad
you just never feel like reading it.
The
prevailing wisdom is to power through,
but that is terrible advice.
Reading should be a pleasure.
School often robs us
of the idea that reading can be fun.
Well, we're not in school anymore
I give you permission
to stop reading my book
or any book
in which you have stalled.
I want you to enjoy reading
my book or anyone else's.
But I also give you permission
to keep on reading.
Just like a man, right?
Take
“A Farewell to Arms”
If you have read it,
you may not remember
most of the book
But I bet the last 3 pages stay with you still.
Remember:
The right book for the right person
is not enough.
It needs to be the right book,
for the right person at the right time.
I just want you to have fun reading.
That's why I'll never power through a bad book. I slogged through The Terror and that taught me a lesson. (And the show on AMC was so much better.
ReplyDeleteThe Passage did me in before I got a third of the way through it. Ugh!
