What Fiction are you reading this week, August 12, 2018?

19. Thank you.

I love to read and I'm no longer working, so I get a lot of reading time.

I also long ago realized that I am interested in a much wider range of books, both fiction and non fiction than a lot of people. I've also gotten VERY fussy about what I'm willing to stick with, and don't hesitate to stop reading something if it isn't working for me. I don't give any book a set number of pages, although if I make it half way I'm likely to finish. Recently I gave up on a book (The Child in Time by Ian McEwan) at or slightly after the halfway point because it just wasn't very interesting to me. I have a feeling there may have been some surprise at the very end, but by the time I put it down, I simply didn't care enough about the characters to be bothered.

I'm almost 70, and I will be dragged from this life kicking and screaming because there will still be a bunch of books I want to read.

Plus, the reason I stay away from this part of DU more than I should is that I see too many good book suggestions. Sigh.
