I've always hated reading books. It's sort of the same way I feel about movies. If something is going to keep my attention for that long it had better be fucking great or at least be so silly that I have to continue. When I do read something it's usually non-fiction. Novels are the worst. Too many authors tend to be just a little too descriptive for my taste. I cant read a whole page that describes a fucking field with a stream running through it. That just seems like unnecessary filler for a book. A book has to be straight to the point for me. Shit just has to be happening for me to maintain interest.
I have tried in the past to read one of a particular author's book and if it's good I'll read another work by them. I think that only two authors have inspired me to do that. Charles Bukowski and Judy Blume. I'll bet neither of them would have been caught dead reading the other's work.
