I haven't been able to read novels for the last couple of years. I used to be an English major (with Analytic Philosophy) and was an avid reader, but then I switched from English Lit to Psychology - and with that and analytic philosophy I think I am becoming too literal to handle novels.
It is terrible. I am a compulsive book buyer, but my idea of 'light bedtime reading' is a text-book that isn't directly related to my studies.
The only thing I've been able to read over the past year is the Harry Potter series. I liked them very much but had the impression that the wizard world seems to be getting smaller rather than bigger with every novel. We seem to have met everyone who is anyone from the wizarding world and so it may be harder for her to keep the world alive in later books.
