"I think we ought to read only the kind of books that wound and stab us." Franz Kafka
For any author who would like his/her book to be reviewed, contact me. Poetry books too are solicited for reviewing. However, there are some genres I tend to avoid. Feel free to ask me.

I must mention here that I read at my own pace and depending on my mood. Don't ask me to hurry.
I am again participating in the 24 Hour Read-a-thon. But I am not sure how much I am going to read. I am in some kind of reading slump since September 2010. It has been a LONG time. I do pick up a book, read few pages and chuck it out! I can't understand my non-reading phase.
It is not that I am NOT reading. I read POETRY all the time, read newspaper articles, scientific articles and lately some beauty related articles. The novel does not hold interest. Maybe I have developed a short attention span. I don't know.
Coming back, I have short listed some books. However, if I finish one, I would be lucky! Maybe I need a JOLT on my head. I don't know....

Have fun!
Perhaps try some nonfiction. I just finished reading The Big Burn: Teddy Roosevelt and the fire that saved America by Egan. Or pick a classic or something out of your normal reading selection.
I was in a bit of a slump all last summer and early fall, and then all of a sudden I began finishing books again. I hope you have a great time tomorrow--we have to get up at 5 to start on time! Yikes!
*smiles*
Good luckx
