Well I Got Tired of My Book...

I've stopped reading Stranger In A Strange Land. I made this decision about a week ago and I haven't looked back since. There were many reasons I decided to stop reading it and I will list these reasons in the following blog. The book has an interesting enough idea for a plot and it wasn't particularly poorly written, it just didn't do a very good job of keeping my attention. It wasn't exactly what I would call a "page-turner". I only got about 30 pages into it but at the point I got to the events were moving very slowly, too slowly for my liking. All that had really occurred was this odd man from Mars had been discovered and he was now being held in a scientific lab and was undergoing a series of studies. The language was a little drab and boring; you can only be so interesting when discussing tests to run on a man from another plant. Another thing that contributed to me putting down this book was the fact that I had just read a heavily science fiction book, and although I find it to be a very interesting genre, one can only take so much of the sci-fi formula consisting of aliens, robots, space travel, and scientific jargon. I'm glad I decided to stop reading this book because it led me to the discovery of a truly amazing book...
