Do you typically read on an e-reader? I always swore against them... until I got one and realized how neat it is to carry all your books with you wherever you go.
Yes, I only started reading regularly after I bought a kindle. I don't like to hold a book in my hands. There's something about the paper against my fingertips that just makes me have a chill run down my spine. It's weird, I know
. But I'm really particular about what I touch and I am very hesitant to touch things which have a weird texture
.
With a real book, you can tell how far you are through the story based on how many pages there are left. I start to guess when the climax should be approaching and stuff. That ruins the story, but I can't help it
. I like being able to turn off the progress meter in e-readers.
Well now, I've just let out way too much about myself
.
The Count of Monte Cristo
That's next for me
. I've recently been on a Mark Twain stint. Before the introvert book, I re-read The Adventures of Tom Sawyer and The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn. I had read them in high school, but found them to be incredibly boring back then. Now, I'm wondering whether I had read the same books
.
I've heard about it, sounds like a good read. I know lots of people who keep trying to hide their introversion, including myself. In my case, it had to be done because I worked as a teacher for 1 year (will never happen again, but at the time I had no choice).
Almost every introvert has to at some point in their lives. After a while, you start noticing that there are certain qualities and traits that get people noticed and if you want to get somewhere in life, you have to adapt to those traits. A good portion of the book is spent covering this point and why society doing so may have it miss a very powerful force sitting on the sidelines. But again, possible circlejerk.
