Books, Books, and More Books!

I love to read.  Currently, I have a few books that I’m trying to read.  It takes me a while to get through a book because I can’t always find time to sit down and get into it.  I’ve had the past week and a half off from work so I’ve been getting some good reading in.  Sadly, I am stuck on one book.  Normally I wouldn’t bother finishing it, but I guess I feel sort of obligated to get through it.

Today I sat down and powered through about 1/4 of it.  The content is ok.  The grammar is horrible.  I don’t know if she wrote it like that on purpose.  I think in some instances she’s trying to convey the ethnicity of the characters.  But, it is not ok to change verb tense in the middle of a sentence.  And, commas are your friend.  I got through about three pages, stopped, and tried to find one and couldn’t!  Now, I am not great at English.  I like science and hate English and grammar and all that crap.  I just like to read and not have to think about that stuff.  The grammar in this thing is so bad though.  It takes attention away from the actual story.

On a positive note,  when I can concentrate the story is good.  It’s a romance novel, which I don’t usually go for.  Let me tell you, some of this stuff is saucy!   I’m was sitting here, just me and the dog, and I literally blushed!  Goodness!  Well, I guess I’ll get back to it!
