READING HABITS

Saw this article this morning. I only read my library books at night into the wee hours.
How 'bout you?

retirement is great.........I read whenever I want, but I too steer to late night.  So many books!  My cloud will rain soon.  My question is , does anyone else finish a book they are not entirely pleased with?  I finished  Clara's Heart by Joseph Olshan.  I never did get the theme of the book. It left me feeling uneducated enough to understand it.    But hey, there are a zillion more books out there

There  are  too many  books  waiting  for  me  to  read  to waste  time  on  a  book  that   doesn’t  give  me  something  in return  for  my time.  of course, since I  belong to  a book club, I do finish  those  books  that  I  don't  like  for  the  pleasure  of  participating  in  the  discussions.

Rarely do I read in the daytime or early evening.  The only exception is a book that would keep me awake.  I no longer finish books that I don't like.  The last example of that was The Concrete Blonde by Michael Connelly.  Usually like his books but it was just too blecchh for me.

The only books I always finish are the book club selections. Some of those are tough to finish.

I like to read in the afternoon

If the book is interesting enough it may keep me up. I do hate to leave a book unfinished.

Last time I slugged through "The Rook" by Daniel O'Malley because it received a good review from someone I trusted. But it ended up being an awful book

I read mostly at night.  If a book is really good and I have not read it before I will sometimes read at lunch time but find it hard to put it down to get back to work.  Oh well I am retired and don't punch the clock so I guess as long as management (ME!) is okay with it so am I. Ha! 

I used to finish all books, no matter if I liked them or not.  But these days if a book is not interesting or has subject matter I just don't want in my head I will take it back to the library or put it in the recycle bin and never look back.
