Beating the Block

I usually have around 20 books that I am reading. No problem as I love reading, but every so often I get readers block where I don't want to read at all. The cure is usually, believe it or not, to start reading a book that is mind candy, usually a mystery or thriller. Such books don't draw on to much mental juice and gives your brain a rest.

Proust is a heavy read and some light relief gives me the energy to grind on with my Proustian pursuit.

Grant, get this completely. Interrupted a diet of philosophy books to read the Robert Crais novel Voodoo River. One of my favourite crime writers. Now I am re-energised and ready to tackle something challenging - like Wind In The Willows
