Reading and time for it!!!
ChrisC
nothing. I'm at that period now, it's annoying the F out of me. I just
can't get into reading right now. I know the reading phase will
return, as this has happened to me before.
Although I just got a new computer and playing the latest games on it
might be something to do with it. But I love reading so much was
thinking of un-installing the games to force me to read, but it's a
phase and I shall grow tired if the games and read again.
Apart from the games bit does anyone else get this readers block?
PS It's those damn Half Life 2 games!

The same with me here. I've got so many books I want to read, and I just
can't get near them currently. The reasons are manyfold, couldn't really
name one main thing that keeps me from reading. But I also know that the
time for reading will come again. Then it may happen again that I read a
book of 400 pages or more in one day. :-)

I experience the same thing but a lot of it has to do with reading so
much stuff online that actual books sort of take a back seat. I do have
several lined up for my upcoming vacation though. Oh, well, one less
than it started - Joe Hill just called my name and I'm most the way
though. Damn that boy can write!

games anymore. My trick for reading is consistency: always and daily few
pages linked with a regular daily activity requiring me to be seated for the
minutes I spend with the book. Slow but it's day in and day out: you'd be
amazed at how many books got read that way, cover to cover.

Yes, he certainly can.
And I'm in the same place as you regarding reading. I'm a news junkie,
and after I finish typing for work I hit a bunch of online news sources
and spend *way* too much time reading those. I keep a book in my car to
read at stoplights and while waiting in doctor's offices. I also read
when Sarah does her reading for school - supposed to be 20 minutes every
night, but we've been slugs about this lately because she has book
reports (assigned books so not for fun) for school due - and I try to
read a bit at night before I turn out the light. My "down" time after I
get Sarah to bed is spent watching TV and knitting; this way I can at
least be sociable <g>

Where'd ya go?
I went on a western caribbean cruise last week. A bud sent me Duma Key.
Perfect!. I read about the humid Florida keys while sitting on a humid
balcony in the Gulf of Mexico. Made for some 'totally inside the book" time.
Also, I must share a SK moment. We SK freaks all have them. You know, the
weird thoughts. The flight attendant on the plane came up to me while I was
standing near the galley, held out his clenched fist, palm down. Before he
dropped a chocolate in my hand, I wondered if it was going to be a spider.
Another time while treadmilling in the ship's gym, the clouds on the sea
made shadows that, with a very SK imagination, looked like an approaching
tsunami. It's never boring beig an SK devotee.

about how this dude I really don't like is a Dandelo and we had to kill him
or the tower would fall.

LOL! You're so right! Sometimes things just look different to us than to
other folks! I went to Sedona, camped north of the city in a Canyon
and did day trips. To Sedona, to Jerome (an old mining town up, up, up
on the side of a mountain, to Indian Ruins from long ago and so on. Then
I spent a day in Phoenix with some cousins on the way home. Nice.
So, didja like Duma Key??

Oh, yes! I know exactly what you mean. I'm in a reading phase right
now. In the past month, I've probably read about 10 books. I think it
started with Duma Key, actually.

I know. I think my favorite personal "King" moment was at the ASBK
convention in '97 in Chicago. The restaurant where we ate was very near the
Sears' Tower. It was shrouded in mist, so badly we almost couldn't see the
building. We all thought of The Mist and got a big kick out of it.
