#MultipleBooks

[sunnyanddumb98]

In the writing course I'm taking, I must take a month-long break between the first draft and the second. During that month, I'm supposed to read as much as I can and take notes, erasing my own book from my mind. The goal is to read so much that I forget my voice, allowing me to have fresh eyes for editing. This week, I'll be reading Brooklyn by Colm Tóibín, an Irish author, and Strange Pilgrims by Gabriel García Márquez.

I'm not a fast reader, and as I've mentioned before, I have never read a book faster than it was written. Reading multiple books at a time helps, but I truly think I won't have enough distraction to reset myself enough. I can't read fast and probably only finish one new book this month. It is what it is. Thankfully and tragically, this is not a graded course, so I'm not going to fail any tests but my own—editing my book with fresh eyes.

A prime example of authors writing multiple books would be Jamie’s bookshelf about encouraging others. Her collection contains three books varying in subjects, conveying the same message: empowering people to overcome challenges...

I'm doing a 30-day engagement challenge with personal questions. The question of the day is: What's your favourite genre to read and why?

Sadly I engage in only three genres, I like to open up to new genres, though I just can't seem to focus. I have ADHD. and my brain is really picky. there are some fonts, topics and voices I just can seem to read.

One is literary contemporary fiction, but always on the more funny side and, above all, short stories. I love Miranda July, Otessa Moshfegh, Haruki Murakami, Lydia Davis, and Sayaka Murata, always with a hint of satire because just drama makes me uncomfortable. I really like apathetic characters; they make me feel safe.

The other genre is really specific: anything regency-era, smut or not. My favourite book of all time is "Pride and Prejudice," and I have read it once every three months since I was nine. I just love it. Reading Regency usually helps me to calm down my thoughts. It is easy and doesn't require much concentration.

I'm a slow reader. I can confidently say I have never read a book faster than it has been written, and I usually read multiple books at a time.

Last but not least, my favourite genre is old Latin American magic realism, like Gabriel Garcia Márquez, Isabel Allende, Borges, Cortázar, and Galeano. Since I'm Chilean, it's really comforting. There is something about the voice and the world that makes me feel really at home.
