I cannot decide which book to read next, and I have spent
Ten minutes flipping the pages with the intent
Of finding the one that most piques my interest
I have read the first chapter of three books, unable to pick the one I like best
The result is that not a single book is getting read
I have this ambitious “To be Read” pile instead
*
I want to read as many books as I can, but my impatience gets in the way
I want to “finish” more than one book in a day
That’s not a very reader-like attitude, I guess
I’m looking for breadth and not depth in reading, I confess
*
Every book starts out with a promise to deliver something great
It gets me hooked but midway the writing gets flat, my enthusiasm dissipates
Most books towards the end momentum gain
And my interest in the book is brought back again
*
Let me just pick one random book out of the three
So that I can read it in full and return in time to the library
