YUM YUM

At what point…

Do you push on…

When starting a new book…

To get to the meat of the story?

I was eating Chinese this morning…

(leftover Chinese is one of my favorite breakfasts)

And noticed some black “thing” in my rice.

Was it a spider leg?

A moustache hair?

Or some kind of Chinese herb I was unfamiliar with?

Hungry though…

And anticipating the taste sensation in my mouth…

I quit analyzing…

Pushed that black “thing” to the side of my plate…

And ate

YUM!

And then I realized…

It’s the same with books for me.

If it starts slow or is even a bit boring…

But a friend has recommended it…

Or the jacket cover blurb promises a great story…

I’ll push my critical thinking to the side…

Keep reading…

Because eventually…

I know I’ll get to the…

YUM!

Always, Em-Musing

P.S.  FYI, Yum Yum's is the best Chinese restaurant here in Toledo.
