I read on a forum a couple of days ago about a guy claiming that about every third book or author he picked up, he didn’t enjoy. I must disagree with him. There are usually very few authors and books I don’t enjoy. Then I started thinking. Am I just a more tolerant reader who will ready anything for the joy of reading or am I not picky enough with my reading and expect very little from the books I read? I like to see myself as tolerant a more positive spin on the issue. What kind of reader do you consider yourself? Tolerant or Picky?

Summer reading II
It is this time of the year again. It is time for those lazy summer days spending the days in the hammock reading. Those lazy days when you have all the time in the world to enjoy a book and catching up on all the books you have neglected during the year.
My recommendation for this summer is to use your library. During the summer months at my local library, the expiration date for the books are longer, which makes it possible to go on long vacations without being stuck with late fees on my books.
Use your library to revisit old books you read in another period of your life and see what’s changed in them, or perhaps in you. If that isn’t interesting enough, take a leap into the unknown and find a new author or genre. If you can, unlike I, don’t make yourself go through a book if it is boring, put it down and find a new. This is a time for leisurely reading, not heavy plowing.
