True. Usually when you recommend a few hyped books, the person is more likely to read it.

Well I think I would never be able to pick five books, if you ask me what my favorite ones are. But I’ve got some special kind of books and I know that most teenager/young adults are usually reading the typical books. Like the books everyone else is reading as well. I usually never recommend a very unknown book because most of the people are very skeptical then.

I have five of them. They are The Three Musketeers, The Hobbit, The Pickwick Papers, The Canterbury Tales, and John Steinbeck’s East of Eden. During the A-to-Z Challenge I wrote a post about them:

I have huge TBR piles all around the house. It would be silly to only read one book at a time because at different times one is in different moods. A nimble mind can easily remember what is going on in several stories!

You are not uninteresting. And I am weirdly emotional. I cry in the most non-cryable (that’s not a word) parts and don’t cry when I’m supposed to. And John Green is one of my favorite authors too. And I’m surprised you can even pick 5 books. I usually recommend few Standalones and Trilogies and series and then they can pick for themselves. My TBR pile is always growing and it’s never going to end. 🙂 Glad you liked the post.

Thank you. And those are some good suggestions. I like The Host too. 🙂

It is. Kindle makes it easier but still, paperbacks and hardcovers for life! But I can’t leave food either.

I never eat when I’m reading my book but I think I’d probably wash my hands. I also own an eBookReader which is pretty good because the book can’t get dirty. When I have to recommend books I usually ask the type of book she/he wants to read and recommend around five books then. It’s usually way easier to pick the best one and the person can get the basic information out of every book to decide on her/his own. I think I’ll never be able to answer this question because there are so many amazing authors in the world but one of my favorite authors is probably John Green. I usually don’t borrow my books because I’m scared people will forget to give it back. My TBR pile is endless and will probably endless forever. I just can’t decide what t read next, this is incredible difficult. I got directed by the book ‘the great gatsby’ while I was reading ‘the rosie project’. But happily i was able to read them both. I’m still reading it (while reading other books at the moment) but ‘the rosie effect’ takes me such a long time to read bleugh…. I think my biggest fear is to lose my eBookReader. I’ve never dropped a book by reading, which I’m really happy about. don’t call me numb but i never cried during reading a book or watching a movie. i don’t know whats wrong with me 🙁 – i really liked your post and hope I’m not as uninteresting as i think x ]]> By: Steph http://readingbooks.blog/2015/06/21/guest-post-the-reading-troubles/#comment-4658 Sun, 21 Jun 2015 02:42:17 +0000 https://amandeepmittal.wordpress.com/?p=2932#comment-4658 Beautiful it’d painful.. You captured or pain beautifully.

1) I think the most worn copy on my shelf is The Host by Stephenie Meyer and only because I lent it to a couple of people and they weren’t as careful. Plus I’ve reread it a few times.
2) I know that struggle all too well. I could never figure out a great way to read and eat with a paper book but when I got my kindle life became so much easier. I just prop it up with something and set it to the side of me and tap to switch pages.
10) I have no advice for the music bit (except maybe stick to classical? It’s less distracting) but worrying for the book getting wet I do. Once again, kindle makes life easier. Put the kindle in a ziplock bag and make sure it’s really closed well. Then you don’t have to worry at all.

Great post!
