doleful commentary on my reading habits

[walkitout]

I can really tell when I've gotten stopped cold by several non-fiction books in a row: I go looking for whatever I've got in the trashy fiction stash. I know if I burn through a few of those, I'll have the energy to try to tackle the non-fiction again. Even if it's just to rip into some poor unsuspecting author(s) who devoted (a) year(s) of their li(f)(v)e(S) to a topic.
