I've been kind wondering why I hate reading so much. Most of it is boring and long winded and have long sentence(s) that have no real point to them. It is like people who write articles do so without any kind of logical ordering to them. Lets describe a setting when it is necessary to do so and appropriate within the structure of the article. That is just my attitude which 'what is the point of this boring narrative?'. It rarely has anything to do with what was being talked about and it seems like a break in the smooth running logic that ultimately leads to the point of the article. It is just so frustrating sometimes that writers can't be more to the point and substitute creative art in for their logical argument.

I also have low tolerance for boredom and for things that seem to be going nowhere quickly. At least when someone makes a point and it is clear I know what they said but if they take forever to get there then I really have a hard time comprehending what they are trying to say. Call it ADD or whatever but it just seems like we live in a world that really doesn't want to accommodate our way of thinking. I don't know who came up with patients is a virtue because it isn't when their is no reward in what you are waiting for or you don't even know what you are waiting for.

Why should anyone accommodate your way of thinking? I'm truely curious about this kind of attitude.

Probably not. You're likely just misremembering. It happens.

Stop trolling and go read a book. Reading is fundamental.

I read; Ender's Game, The entire Dune series, Maze Runner, you know stuff that doesn't bore you to death.

I haven' read Maze Runner yet. The others are superb reads. Of course, I'm partial to Dun and have read the series at least a half-dozen times.

I loved To Kill A Mockingbird. That was a great book. The Adventures of Tom Sawyer is one I really enjoyed when I was young. I used to read Nancy Drew books a lot when I was a kid too. I really like mysteries.

Your teachers had you read a lot of good books (Death of a Salesman in 6th grade was stupid, though). When I was in junior high and high school, the rage was "relevant, contemporary young adult fiction" like Bless the Beasts and the Children, The Outsiders. and Catcher in the Rye. And a Shakespeare play a year. Think we did do Huck Finn, though, which was fun. I didn't begin reading the classics until I was out on my own, poking around yard sales for 25 cent books, or got a tip from the local librarian.

NANCY DREW ROCKED!!!!

You didn't read any Steinbeck in high school? He's a must read...

The Outsiders and Catcher in the Rye were "contemporary" when you were in school? You must really be an old lady.

Beds are for weaklings. I sleep on gravel and shards of glass.

The Catcher in the Rye was contemporary as opposed to The Scarlet Letter. The Outsiders was written in 1967. AND WHAT ARE YOU SO GRUMPY ABOUT? This was a very pleasant thread until you came grumbling and snarking into it.
What do YOU like to read?
