It took me nearly three weeks to finish Circe, not because it was boring, it was a great book, but because I have such a horrible attention span. I would read a few pages, get distracted by something else, and forget about it. By the time I finished it, I needed to return it to the library in 3 days.
I borrowed the song of achilles yesterday, and the only reason I stopped was because I needed to go to bed. I got through 50% of the electronic book-
So basically, my brain was like:
Do you wanna read a bittersweet book about Circe's journey to becoming a powerful witch?
My brain: meh. Sure.
Do you wanna read a book about two gays tragic story in ancient Greece?
My brain: HELL YEAH I DO!
