It's Me

Posted in: 2022 posts | Reading | Weekend Musings

I guess this is the "real" 800th post if you only count published ones XD


I don't think I'm a fan of H. G. Wells' writing style... 

It's not like I just realised it this week. Had a feeling when I started the book back in January. Yesterday, I took a look at the "If you like..." section on LibraryThing and found Jules Verne on the top. Yeah... read two of Verne's books before, also not a fan. 

I'm aware. It's totally me, it's my problem. It occurred to me today that you have to take time reading Wells.. like you have to read slowly, which apparently I don't always do. Caught myself reading the book out loud several times. Probably will benefit from reading through an audiobook version or... read the book while listening the audiobook. That would help in "slowing down" my reading speed.. I guess?

Oh and I keep forgetting who is who lol... I know I'm not good with names but usually it's good enough. This one.. I just don't care anymore, unfortunately. Going from this book to Conrad's book was.. an experience. Conrad's isn't that easy to read either but I can picture their stories better in my head (still bad with names though oops).
