There are many ways to choose your readings. Here I will certainly not talk about literary genres, because reading is personal and everyone has their own tastes. I'll talk about how I started choosing my readings, based on the mood of the moment, my goals and what I'm writing. What I don't feel like reading now I must have at least seven historical novels by Bernard Cornwell, some from the Sharpe series – Napoleonic Wars – and others about the Middle Ages. But they really don't attract me, yet he is a writer I have always loved. Epic or classic fantasy or whatever you want to call it is rejected a priori. I've had a novel in Terry Brooks' Shannara series in English for a few years, but it will remain unread for much longer.
But I would like to Phone Number Data read The Mists of Avalon by Bradley and also The Goddess of War – written together with Diana L. Paxson. She is an author who has intrigued me since the end of the 80s, when I found Fantastic Stories of Swords and Magic , a collection presented by the writer, in a newsstand at the station - at that time I was attracted by books about swords and magic. Readings for documentation I would like them to be a full part of the books to read. Let me explain: until now I have always seen them as extra books, compared to the two average books I read at the same time. But, at least as far as I'm concerned, it's a bad move. I've seen that I can't read too many books at once, so now I've reduced them to two – what about the other two initiates who have been making cobwebs on my desk for months? Let's pretend nothing happened.
So, if I need to read a book to read up on something I'm writing, then that book will be part of the pair being read. What I read when I want something light Dick and Lansdale. Two random names, but which always work. In August there was a nice offer from Fanucci, a 25% discount, so for less than 30 euros I took home 4 novels by Philip K. Dick. Dick's stories - which I re-evaluated after Ubik - are enjoyable, light, but always permeated with a not too latent drama. And those of Lansdale, you know that sooner or later someone dies and that in every chapter there is a twist. What do I read when the childish part prevails Simple, books for children and teenagers and lately Young Adult. I would also like to write for a young audience, so these are useful readings. I've read Veronica Roth's trilogy – Divergent , Insurgent , Allegiant – even if in the end it's nothing special, just as I would like to read Lois Lowry's The Giver shortly , whose film I saw last week.
