I’ve been putting off starting a new book for a couple of days now. I did start reading one but it was late at night and I couldn’t get into the flow of it but I think a big part of it is that I’m worried that whatever I start reading next wont be as enjoyable as the last two books I’ve read. Those last two books have properly blown my mind for different reasons and I never thought I’d say this but I don’t think I’m ready to take a chance on another book yet.
Put like that it feel like a break up, I’m not ready to start dating yet, not ready to take that chance of being disappointed at a lack of connection or the disappointment of things not going well once I’ve committed myself to a new book.
I know I’ll get back on the horse again, and soon but in the meantime I’m just going to keep reading through the 1st Judge Dredd Collection and maybe a few short stories. I’m not ready to dive into a novel again just yet.
