Hah, now you mention it, it does. From the few I have read anyway.

> find a series you enjoy because then you always have another book lined up to look forward to.

Ehh, I’m not sure I agree on this. There’s series that are kinda boring to begin then improve later on.

The Witcher is like this for me. Especially as I’m reading The Tower of Swallows right now, the earlier few books weren’t that enjoyable for me.

And while I haven’t read Wheel of Time yet, I see comments regarding some books that people don’t enjoy but keep reading anyway.

Quick Edit: A “bad” book is a book someone is unfamiliar with in my opinion, it could be better than at face value.

Had a similar feeling, checked the comments straight after, something doesn’t feel right about it.

Reading is a skill like any other, don’t be too hard on yourself (:

There’s a lot of things going on when you read; reading the words and making meaning of it and building a mental image of what the author is describing, the people, scenery etc… are a couple of things among others.

As you keep reading these things will become easier and you’ll be enjoying the stories authors have to tell.

It's a lot of work to set a target number of books or count pages read.

I'm going to try keep up reading as I am currently, reading when I can, for however long that may be and enjoying the journey.
