I think it also happens with writing. Think of the number of BHW writers who contribute a handful of good books to the series, then suddenly vanish. Often they never come back, but reasons other than boredom and a feeling of staleness -- financial reasons, death even -- may be at play here.<BR/>KeithChap O'Keefehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04404176810063857291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197075706983155600.post-39334152842122853832009-03-03T22:06:00.000+00:002009-03-03T22:06:00.000+00:00I only ask because I've done that with a few books...I only ask because I've done that with a few books and then come back to them and enjoyed them. For instance after I've done say six westerns on the run I have to change genre for a couple of books and then I come back to the western again refreshed.Gary Dobbs/Jack Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935686140719743351noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197075706983155600.post-73079193808608396102009-03-03T22:02:00.000+00:002009-03-03T22:02:00.000+00:00I try to finish it, usually by speed-reading, alth...I try to finish it, usually by speed-reading, although these days, with so many books to read, I will put it aside with the idea of coming back to it another day as I sometimes wonder if I just wasn't in the mood for that type of book/style of writing.Steve Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11631734673248632467noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3197075706983155600.post-810883664766118312009-03-03T21:35:00.000+00:002009-03-03T21:35:00.000+00:00Steve - when a book dissapoints do you ever fail t...Steve - when a book dissapoints do you ever fail to finish it or do you plough on regardless.Gary Dobbs/Jack Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10935686140719743351noreply@blogger.com
