Sorry to hear that my friend!I would be happy to read anything. I have Vestibular Migraines that are brought on through such activities as reading a novel. I’m okay for short reads like here, but reading for a long stretch will bring one on. Audio books are my only source for “reading”.
I pick my books based on the author. I have a half dozen or so authors that I like. I’ve ”read” everything that they have published to date, so when a new title comes out, I’m on it. If there aren’t any new titles, I fall back to science fiction.
If you haven’t already done so, read Stranger in a Strange Land. I’m certain you will Grock it.Lately I have been re-reading old Heinlein stuff
I'm trying to alternate a bit myself. Since I typically read fiction, I try to rotate from a fiction book to a non-fiction book. Sometimes, if I'm reading a trilogy or something similar, I may read through the full catalog before alternating.I prefer reading non-fiction. I tend to alternate interests from book to book. As in, I won't read Roman history back to back. I will jump to WW2, or a biography. I like to switch it up in hopes that I don't get to overwhelmed with information or bored on a certain subject. I feel it keeps me interested.
I absolutely love reading to the kids. There are some great kid books out there. Of course, there are certainly stinkers as well. But finding those good ones is a joy. And of course you can't replace that bonding time. We're reading The Hobbit to the oldest currently, and the youngest is getting into a good age for books as well.There is never just one book on the go for me.
I was making my way through the Faerie Queene for a couple of years, reading all kinds of other things along the way because other people in the house were reading fun things, or something took my fancy, or I got bothered with Spenser going on about how the Irish needed to be oppressed.
Finished at last. Thought toward the tail end of it that I should read Don Quixote again, as a bit of an antidote to all that that chivalry.
But then the Gordon Korman book that I was reading but someone else had borrowed from the library, and returned because they didn’t know I was also reading it, showed up again, as well as a new Ivy and Bean book for my youngest kid (and I am a huge Ivy and Bean fan—so funny!) and also both my wife and older kid think that Dial A for Aunties was hilarious, so now...
I read the Ivy and Bean last night (secretly) and am now reading alternate chapters aloud to the kid (who has now read the whole book herself but wants us to read it to her anyway). And I’m going to read Dial A for Aunties which is already overdue at the library and can’t be renewed because someone else has it on hold, but it looks so good. Then back to Unplugged and then Don Quixote. Unless something else happens.
