Marzipan Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 I'm starting to question my readig addiction... Is the quality of my reading experience taking a curwe down if I constantly have to look back on the previous chapters of what I'm rerading even in my favorite stories? I have about more than 10 stories, in process, that I read every time a new chappy appears. And I read complete stories as well daily. I keep forgetting the characters names, backrounds, happenigs etc andn lately I have been forced to go back with the stories. Have I reached the limet of my memory? Should I just take a step back and be more patient and let the author finish their work? It is a different thrill to read a complete story, but then again sharing the excitement with the other readers who anticipate chapters is fun too! Anyone else have the same problem? How do you deal with it? I think I'm not gonna start any new stories in a while. Noooo...Can't make that promise... Must.... Nooooo.... Help me!
Bumblebee Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 LOL I have the same problem sometimes, so I've been just sticking to completed stories and reading one at a time (cause I've got no time to read anymore then one) But I still forget caracters and everything, so if I really like a story, I'll bookmark it and after reading another story or 2, I'll go back and read it so I can remember everything
rustle Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 It's not just you. I have to reread or walk away and let a few chapters accumulate. Or concentrate on a whole book for a while.
Tipdin Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 It was not unusual for me to have half a dozen books going at one time, but I have found as I get, ...more mature in years... (*Cougholdfart) I can't keep track of everyone anymore. So I now read one at a time. The down side is that if it's a good read, it's over too soon!
Marzipan Posted February 3, 2011 Author Posted February 3, 2011 Yes, aging... That explains, it's all going downhill after 30...
Tipdin Posted February 3, 2011 Posted February 3, 2011 Yes, aging... That explains, it's all going downhill after 30... Well..... I thought about blaming it on my Alzheimer's but that seemed worse!
