Shh...

I think I like books more than I like reading. I love book covers and titles and the ideas behind them. I love strong characters and plot lines and library-browsing. I love holding books and stacking books and talking about books, but sometimes when I sit down to read the actual book, I'm less interested.

Of course, it certainly depends on the book and it's not always the book's fault. I'm convinced it's my impatience. Most books work into a story. The prize is sticking around long enough to get to the moment where you are no longer consciously reading, but are completely absorbed into the words on the page. Those are books worth reading. Unfortunately, not all books (classic or otherwise) are worth sticking it out for.
