A Quick & Enjoyable Read

Most of us have gone into a book store to find a quick and enjoyable read. But somehow we end up with a book that is 800 or more pages just because the blurb is so promising. Therefore we end up racing through the book we are currently reading just because we are excited to start this new amazing book we just bought for $25. So we prep ourselves for another sleepless night of reading.

We get bottles of water, juices and a pot of coffee ready. Then we realize we might be hungry later so we run to our nearest gas station to buy a ton of overly priced crappy snacks. Then we procced by laying up on the couch to enjoy our oh-so promising book.

But as soon as you open the book, you start to get cold. So you then close the book and run upstairs to get your favorite blanket.

Now you are ready after wasting an hour to be prepared for this epic book you are about to get lost in.

Here is what happens:










After you push yourself to page 200, you stop and think.

"Okay so this book is dragging and I really don't care about these details but I mean..come on I am already on page 200. So it has to get better!"

And sure enough when you start the next part of the book, the first line is:





You are so happy because FINALLY this book is getting good. You probably look alot like this:


So now that you are finally in your happy place, you drink two cups of coffee and pump yourself up for this WONDERFUL book. Remember, the blurb promised.

So you keep reading:




Now you are just PISSED and wide awake from the coffee you just drank. So now you HAVE to finish the book because there is only 100 pages left.

So you keep reading the book for about 10 minutes and you finally admit, YOU CANNOT DO THIS!

You pick the book that you just finished reading and start to reread it. Until the bookstore opens so you can pick up a quick and enjoyable read.
