"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.
What book took you the longest to read, and do you feel it was the content or just the length that made it so?
One novel that I took a long time to finish was The Girl Who Kicked the Hornet's Nest by Stieg Larsson (743). It was not because of the length as such but I was going through a reading slump. I could read a few pages at a time. It was in 2010 and my reading slump has lasted till date. Now I can barely read anything!

I feel like that at the moment, too. How is the poetry writing?
I've got to get back to a book I started last year....War and Peace.
I hope that you find the right read to get you out of your slump.

Usually when it takes me a long time to read a book it's because I'm distracted.
There is a book out there waiting for you that will get you out of your slump. I'm sure of it! Here is my BTT
Oh man, that was a SUPER quick read for me! Funny how everyone has a different answer for this, today!
