Writing About Reading

When a new book doesn't capture my fancination, I usually give it a couple chapters before I actualy stop reading it. If it confuses me I read it again to try to understand what the page is talking about. Sometimes if I don't get it at all i ask someone. And if they don't understand it either then I either keep reading and see if it starts to make sense. Or if after a couple of chapters I really don't understand it then I stop reading it.
If a quiet place in the house isn't available to me, I usually go outside on our deck and sit or lie down in a chair. I sometimes can read if the place that I want to read is a little loud, but if the page that I am reading is not catching my interest then I get off task and forget what is on the page and forget whats happening.
I normally read fiction because they are more interesting to me than non-fiction books. Non-fiction books just bore me. Fiction books with action are my favorite, they really make me stay focused because if I get distracted then you forget what is going on.
