I constantly felt like smacking the main characters and didn't give a crap what happened to them. I would never read anything by Gillian Flynn again.<br /><br />I don't think I could ever stop reading novels, and now that my kids are teens I do what DrMolly suggests: I listen to them instead. It's a little expensive (I should check if Simply Audio is a better deal), but I download about a book a month from Audible.com. It's a little bit of an adjustment to go from reading the book yourself to being read to, but after you get used to it it's awesome. Many of the narrators are amazing and can really bring the book to life. Plus, if the author is English speaking but not American, you get to hear it in the proper accent. What I like best is that you can listen while doing the dishes, other household drudgery, exercising, etc., so you don't need to find time for it. I sound like a freakin' commercial, don't I?Margotnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-346136223430272580.post-67714886308540862492015-01-19T00:34:39.391-05:002015-01-19T00:34:39.391-05:00I know it sounds bad but I never read books.

I read books like my kids play video games. Once I get into it, I can't get out until it's done. I concur with Robbie - my kids will get frozen pizza (I do cook it) when I've lost in a book. I just read The Christmas List by Richard Paul Evans for my book club (a quick read and uplifting book about redemption). I am currently reading The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time (about an autistic kid who's trying to solve a dog's mysterious death.) I just bought Cary Elwes' book, As You Wish, and John Cleese's, So, Anyway. Both are my next reads. Sometimes you just have to make the time because it's 'you' time.
