We hear a lot about writer's block --a topic for another post -- but what about reader's block? I am an avid reader , yet I have recently returned two books -- and may well return a couple more -- to the library unread. These are books by authors I generally like a great deal and for which I've been eagerly waiting for some time. I just could not get interested in them. In some cases I found the characters uninteresting and in one book I found myself put off by the writing style. It seemed to be straining for humor where humor had always come naturally before.
So what's going on? I'm hoping this condition won't last as long as writer's block often does. Has anyone else had reader's block? Can it be the winter blahs or is it just me?
