I'm currently reading ~~two~~ three books in a snail speed.
Gerald's Game - Stephen King, I get in to the book with the knowledge that I might not like the book, mainly because I get bored really quicky if majority of the plot happens psychologically. And it does feels like it's that type of book. However, what I'm not prepared was the subplot of
hidden or nsfw stuff
childhood sexual assault of the protagonist.It makes a really hard read. Currently only reads on short sprints.
The Citadel - A J Cronin, didn't realized the book was published in 1930s ... and it shows.
Don Quixote - Miguel de Cervantes (trans. Tobias Smollett), reading this reminded me how boring I had become. It should be by all account, a very funny book, but though there are humorous situations, I hardly laughed. Again, reading in a snails pace.
