Writing About Reading

Reading for me can be a welcome respite from the often hectic day. Sometimes though, you find yourself reading a book that is just not interesting. In these times I do one of two things, either I chuck the book, or I grin and bear it. I usually find myself not liking the books beginning, but I know that this novel I'm reading will get better, so I might as well keep reading. So I just barrel through the beginning, actually reading more than when I'm at the good parts, and try to end my torment of a boring book as quickly as possible.
I've found that I'm a resilient reader, I can read while listening to music, while on the bus, even while have watching a movie, but still nothing beats a nice comfy, quiet nook to sit down and immerse yourself in a good book.
