I have kind of been in a reading rut lately. Usually by this time of year I have read 15-20 books. I think I am only up to about 8 or 9. Some of that I can blame on the life changes this year, but there really is no excuse to be so far behind.

I picked up a book last week that I thought would be interesting. It was a buddy cop murder mystery type of book where the "buddies" are women, kind of a Cagney and Lacey kind of vibe to it. The problem is I am 50 pages in and I am bored out of my mind. It is not exactly the subject material, it just seems like I have read so many books that start out exactly like this book plot wise that it is not an enjoyable read. I know I should probably give it another 50 pages or so, but I think the book is going back to the library.

Usually when I am bored with fiction I go through a spell where I only want to read non-fiction. The interesting thing is that the time it is taking me to get bored with fiction is getting shorter and shorter.

There are a number of fiction books coming out this fall that I am interested in including the new Dan Brown book and the new WoT book (sans Robert Jordan). Maybe I need to do some creative Amazon searches to see if I can find some potential gems.

In the meantime I have a non-fiction book I just got delivered today from the library. More about that later.
