Reading Woes
All of my life I have been a pretty "Geeky" guy. I love "tech" stuff, anime, cartoons, video games, etc. There is a whole list of things that would classify me as a "geek" to most people. This list includs reading fantasy books, like "Lord of the Rings" and "The Wheel of Time". (This doesn't mean that I don't really enjoy other styles of writing, Jack Kerouac is one of my all-time favorite authors). But lately the fantasy books just haven't been able to hold my attention the way that they used to. I still like them, but I used to stay up all night reading just to find out what happened next in my favorite books. Maybe I'm just getting old (but I'm not even 26 yet). Or maybe I just can't focus the way that I used to in my younger days. Whatever it is I don't know, but it would be nice to be able to get so deep into these books again that I lose all track of time then realize that its 5 am, but keep on reading anyway.

I can only offer the perspective of one who is with someone of the nerd variety, (i.e. loves Tolkien, paint war-hammers, know the kingdom class order ect. of all Utah desert plants). The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Night-Time is a good page turning, wake up early just to read book, especially if you have curious behaviors yourself.
