I'm not a classics fan but I don't follow the trail of hyped new books either. I just read the stuff I want to read regardless of whether anyone else is reading and liking it! I love re-reading old favourites but haven't had time for it recently with the size of my TBR so I get that point for sure. Yes to the DNF! If I didn't I'd never get anything read! I do like a lot of TV stuff that I have to fit in around my reading which can be an issue though!chucklesthescothttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09423562114343636659noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8193309628838073849.post-91159161278436532692019-11-19T19:31:06.932-07:002019-11-19T19:31:06.932-07:00I'm starting to believe in the DNF!

I read a lot and other people don't understand me the way you all do. I watch so much less TV now too, but I think I used to use it more as background noise, when I would grade work and do my lesson plans. Now that I am not about the life any longer, I have time to just sit, and I find it boring to just stare at the TV. I would rather read.
