This week’s question:

Would you say that you read about the same amount now as when you were younger? More? Less? Why?

My answer:

This took some time for me to answer and post since it was such a long time ago lol.

I definitely read less now but wish I read like I did. I remember reading a book in a day, which meant I could read up to 5-7 books a week. Why? No responsibility, no worries, no distractions and better eyesight. This year has been awful in the number of books I have read. Here it is the end of October and I read 34 books, 34 books!!! That is embarrassing for a self proclaimed avid book reader. That number should at least be approximately at 70. But real life was quite intrusive on my reading time. So I am anxiously waiting for 2012 and am already stalking the blog, A Novel Challenge.

Today’s question:

What’s the hardest/most challenging book you’ve ever read? Was it worth the effort? Did you read it by choice or was it an assignment/obligation?

My answer:

It didn’t take long for the answer to come to mind even though it was close to 35 years ago. It was definitely not by choice. The book was by William Shakespeare and I am almost positive it was Hamlet. I was an avid reader even back then but enjoyed books by Danielle Steel, James Patterson, Fern Michaels, V.C. Andrews, etc, not Shakespeare. That to me was pure torture at that time in my life. Thank goodness for Cliff Notes lol.

What about you? What book was your challenge?
