And I bought the Kondo book and am having trouble getting into it.Carehttp://www.bkclubcare.wordpress.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604938.post-57701135873147871042015-07-24T18:34:38.727-07:002015-07-24T18:34:38.727-07:00You really do have to work at finding the spare ti...You really do have to work at finding the spare time to read here in the States, that's for sure. It's a lot different for me than all those years I spent in the Sahara Desert and depended largely on books to maintain my overall mental health. I do enjoy reading in coffee shops and sandwich shops a lot, and do that two or three times a week. <br /><br />I finished "Watchman" last week and plan to write a review this weekend that will be posted in a couple of weeks. I found the first 100 pages or so to be very slow reading. The "set-up," if you will, was too long and I was starting to get pretty bored with the book when it seemed to take off all of a sudden. Not a lot of physical action..mostly about relationships, etc. and I ended up liking it more than I expected to. I'll look forward to seeing what you think of it.Sam https://www.blogger.com/profile/17448913705757509608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604938.post-35547560339240963852015-07-24T18:00:54.546-07:002015-07-24T18:00:54.546-07:00I feel the same way as you about the new Harper Le...I feel the same way as you about the new Harper Lee book. The Kondo book can be repetitive, but it works! <br /><br />You're right, it is hard to be a bookworm in this country. I can read in a waiting room or somewhere that I have to wait at, but other than that, I don't read in public. It can be too distracting.Vasillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08463689838763126048noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6604938.post-13401462582097511372015-07-24T14:54:18.435-07:002015-07-24T14:54:18.435-07:00I've never really considered your opening ques...I've never really considered your opening question before. I think many of us American Bookworms find reading in a crowd natural. I like going to a busy coffee shop, having a cup of coffee and reading. It's almost easier than reading in a quiet space on my own. I've also used books as a kind of shield on the bus and on the train. Reading a book kind of allows me to block out a good portion of the world in a socially acceptable way. Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
