[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I normally read to get away, kinda get a happy ending and not be so focused on the problems of my current day life.

But as I read different books and different genres, I'm finding new reasons why I read. For example, I'm enjoying reading autobiographies because there are so many stories that are of interest in these people's lives that probably wouldn't be enough to make it into a work of fiction but they are stories from their lives that made them, and they are so different that that makes them stand out.

I feel bad because I'm on a streak of good books and I'm questioning do I ride the hot hand or take a break before I get a bad book? [/quote]
You might be over thinking this, you know. :) 
If you get a bad book, put it down and pick up another![/quote]

Have you ever read a bad book? One that was recommended by a close friend? They tell you that you have to finish so you can talk about it? So instead of reading it you're sitting with your eyes going over the page and thinking about how bad this book is and how much you want to be doing other things, then thinking about all the other things you could be doing and wondering why you're not doing those things and reading this bad book instead? Then you start to hate your friend for recommending this book in the first place? You want to put it down but can you? Is this book worth losing a friend over? Are they really a good friend? Maybe you're drifting apart? I mean other than books you don't talk much? And if this is the type of book they're going to recommend maybe they don't know you that well.

A lot goes into the decision to put a book down. [/quote]
