But I need a voice that reaches out a grabs me by the throat.pattinase (abbott)https://www.blogger.com/profile/02916037185235335846noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445048503136822514.post-32857952726445702342012-05-27T05:39:20.794+01:002012-05-27T05:39:20.794+01:00Yeah, pick up a book (or comic or graphic novel) f...Yeah, pick up a book (or comic or graphic novel) from a different genre, something you'd never normally touch. It's surprising how quickly the enjoyment of the act of reading can flip you over the block and get you all voracious again.Nicola Rain Jordanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13037536296954154942noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445048503136822514.post-55943242138600579912012-05-26T20:27:11.294+01:002012-05-26T20:27:11.294+01:00Thanks guys.

You're right--the amount of work required is... intimidating. After the first one came out, I thought I'd never tdo it again. But then amnesia sets in and a year later, here I am! I could see why that would give you readers block...<br /><br />Good call on the Bukowski. I'll have to check out Ham and Rye as I am a fan of Hank and his journeys.Chris Rhatiganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05769089157184374652noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445048503136822514.post-28204714938489792322012-05-26T18:40:40.547+01:002012-05-26T18:40:40.547+01:00Like Heath, I get reader's block 2-3 times a y...Like Heath, I get reader's block 2-3 times a year. For whatever reason, who knows. Usually what gets me out of it is either (a) a brand new book by a favorite author that I WANT to read RIGHT NOW; (b) re-reading a book that I never tire of, a lifelong favorite; or (c)just live with it until the need to read recovers itself.Naomi Johnsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08005429772070247806noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7445048503136822514.post-13746012031817700192012-05-26T14:59:36.325+01:002012-05-26T14:59:36.325+01:00I get like that two or three times a year, so I kn...I get like that two or three times a year, so I know exactly what you mean. That's usually when I spend about a week catching up on comic book reading. By the time I'm done, I'm ready for something meatier.Heath Lowrancehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07009721666729276126noreply@blogger.com
