Lately, I find my...That was a long first sentence!<br /><br />Lately, I find myself putting books down faster than I used to. I seem to have a lot less patience for a story that doesn't do it for me immediately and maybe that's not fair. Still, I have less reading time than ever, so I want a story that grabs me right away.<br /><br />Things that make me stop reading? Well, implausiblity has been a big one lately. I say 'Really? How exactly did they manage that?' quite a bit.<br /><br />Other things? Dull characters. Characters that suddenly aren't smart enough to figure out the easiest solution to a problem, even after doing incredibly smart things throughout the rest of the story.<br /><br />I guess I'm getting really picky in my old age, but I just can't stand lazy writing, you know?<br /><br />Congrats on 100 posts!Matthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01391867546599335769noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9050630514662355379.post-6805749489929121332010-02-27T04:04:28.750-06:002010-02-27T04:04:28.750-06:00congratulations on your hundredth post!congratulations on your hundredth post!Adelehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12876050775872445521noreply@blogger.com
