Man, I only just got into Pratchett when I stopped being able to read books. Loved Vetinari, the Postmaster, and whats his face the Guardsman (of course). Memory fails on names and what books I managed to snag, though, and they're all in boxes... somewhere.
E-books?
Brain-fog. You know how when you get reaaally tired you have to stop reading because you're re-reading the same paragraph over and over and it's just not sinking in?
I'm like that for anything longer than the average fanfic. In the last few months, it's been that way for anything longer than a one-shot fanfic. Even my own stuff, I can't do it.
Been that way for novels for several years now, very aggravating. About half of my worldly possessions = books.
I spent about three months like that. Three months when I was working on my senior project. It was kind of awful.
...Audiobooks?
Can't concentrate on them unless I'm doing something mindless at the same time. I used to
devour podcast novels when I worked as an LCD screen tester. Also, I spent my many solo cross-country roadtrips with a pair of headphones on in the car. Scott Sigler, J.C. Hutchins, and Tee Morris = lifesavers.
When I was playing Aion I started listening to them again while doing mindless grinding, but I'm not in any mmos right now, lol. If the fog doesn't get better enough to at least let me read in the next year or so, I'm going to have to figure something creative out. I wrote about 50k words of TAF last December while unable to do more than skim my Dragonlance books, and it just drove it home even harder that I haven't been able to read worth sh*t since my system started to really break down.
On the other hand, I apparently still give damn good Raistlin from memory, so that was kind of nice!
