Back then, our library had shelves full of Ron Hubbard's books. One day, I picked one out of whim - I think it was called 'Invader's Plan' - a science fiction. This genre is usually fun, but the book I picked was like a curse... I remember reading the first few pages again and again not understanding what was happening and not having any motivation to continue. Needless to mention, I've never picked that author's book ever after that.
It happened with Ayn Rand's 'Atlas Shrugged' as well. If the size of the book was a major discouragement, the writing itself was getting on my nerves. Boring, and I don't know why some of my friends kept recommending her books.
I've faced frustration with quite a few classics too. I found 'Far From the Madding Crowd', 'Kenilworth' and 'War and Peace' incredibly tough to enjoy. |
