ever bought and read a book that you know is objectively good but you just dont enjoy reading it?
i've just recently returned to reading books again and i've liked almost every book i've bought and read so far. the books i've bought, read and finished are : kite runner, the hobbit and yellowface. loved all three of them and i bought another book which is highly rated called "Human Acts" by Han Kang which didnt give me that same feeling as the first 3 books i bought.
i can see that the author is a good writer, and i find the idea of the book fascinating. i even liked the first 2 chapters (especially the second chapter) but its been like 2 days and i havent finished the third chapter as i found it to be abit of a slog to read through and it feels like i'm forcing myself to read and finish the paragraphs to get to the end because i promised myself that i can only buy a new book if i finish the one i'm currently reading. i know i'm not the brightest reader and stuff that requires deeper understanding may fly over my head but my opinion on it so far is that it isnt the page turner i was hoping for and now i kinda hoped that i got something else instead.
idk...i dont find myself constantly wanting to get back to it despite knowing how good this book is to alot of people and i miss that feeling of "i have to know what happens next" that the other 3 books gave me :( #entertainment source
