I don't read very much because I have an incredibly hard time staying A. focused and B. interested in what I am reading. I have realized more and more that the reason for this is because I keep trying to read books that seem and sound interesting, but are immensely boring due to the writing style. The writing style can make or break a book in my opinion.
I tried reading a book the other day that just had too much goddamn detail in it. I hate...HATE books where the author thinks it isn't overkill to take more than a paragraph to describe something. Why is it necessary to use up a page and a half to describe very meaningless things. Especially if it is only relevant to the next few pages?
I usually enjoy reading books that have raw information in them. I feel that I get more out of the book and retain more.
I rather enjoy authors like Susan Brockman, Michael Chriton and Pat Robertson. Not sure about that last one.
