Maybe she'll start writing about the next generation? Or go back in time to previous ones?
Do you miss novels at all? I was wondering if you allowed yourself to just read and enjoy a novel (or short story) without thinking about analyzing it or relating on a non-literal level, do you think you could enjoy the story?
I was also wondering--partly because my patience for factual stuff is somewhat limited lately and I have difficulty really absorbing much at a time--when you read the more didactic material (esp. before bed), does it stick with you?
I admire that. For me, I definitely can absorb textbook material, but not a lot of it at once. And I would probably need to talk about what I read in order to fully commit it to my brain. But it would not be "pleasure reading" for me.
