Always when I begin reading a book I struggle to keep my mind from wandering. It does not seem to matter if the beginning of the book is extremely well written and interesting, I still cannot stay focused. This would be easily explained if I did not like to read or did not wish to, but I want to read, I love to read, yet I cannot bring myself to constrain my thoughts for the opening pages of a book.
But once I have read a few pages and gathered my thoughts I can stay very focused and fixed on the book at hand. But I do not like missing a part of the book. It does not matter if the beginning would be of no importance to the rest of the book. It is about the principle. One do not only listen to the chorus of a musical piece, one listens to the whole piece. The very first sentences are of the same substance as the very last ones. Therefore it is a shame that I have this much disturbing quality. Before i start reading the next book I will make sure that I am extremely focused and have nothing else on my mind.
However this little experiment will have to wait until I finish my current book, Sepulchre written by Kate Moss. It seems to be a somewhat scary story that takes place in France during the end of the 19th century as well as current times. It has a very skillfully written parallel story both with a young woman as its lead character. I have yet to experience how the story develops but it seems promising. It is quite exciting as this is a category in which I very rarely read books.
I will keep this blog posted on any updates.
