Fixing my Reading Habits — Day 4: The Loney (pt. 1)
I’m still trying to fix my reading habits. Today is Day 4 of trying to do so. Yesterday I read some of The Indisputable Existence of Santa Claus — and I didn’t want to put it down.
Today, just after waking up, I started The Loney — a book by Andrew Michael Hurley. As far as I have understood from the blurb, The Loney is an area of significance that a family always visited, but it’s got an almost thriller-like element to it.
I’m actually pretty gutted that, on this day, I don’t have a significant amount to actually write about what I had read. The Loney felt somewhat difficult to get into and as time progressed I was feeling more and more frustrated that I wasn’t digesting the story.
What I took in, though, was promising. Confident that the story is gripping enough to maintain my attention (in the long-run), I am sure I can finish it.
What was troublesome was far less a fault with the book and far more with myself. With too much on my mind, I was distracted. Thinking about work. Thinking about not being ill. Thinking about friends. Reminiscing about the good-old days when I could breath through my nose without getting a headache.
Maybe I should visit The Loney to get better.
