Ever read a book so s l o w l y…
Because you didn’t want it to end?
I’m still reading Stephen King’s Duma Key…
But not because it’s 790 pages long…
And I’m such a sissy slow reader…
It’s because the story is so interesting…
The characters are so compelling…
That I don’t want to rush the experience.
While I can’t wait to find out what’s next…
And I know the story must end sometime…
I can’t bear to rush it.
Like Altoids mints…
That overwhelm if you have too many...
I dole out the chapters...
A few at a time.
Enjoying each "curiously strong" one.
So?
Ever read a book that was soooo good…
You didn’t want to rush it?
And if so…
What was it?
Always, Em-Musing
