I know its a bit needy cheeky but I could do with a hand.
I used to read a lot,since I was tiny. I loved books. I also studied so read academic stuff no problem.
Then my beautiful girl got very sick. I coped by not thinking to deeply or concentrating on much other than her and the kids. Then we lost her and I just seemed unable to concentrate anymore at all.
I tried to start my degree again and simply could not cope with the required reading
I miss it so much. I am sick of the tv and spend far to much time on the mumsnet the internet.
My favourite writer is Barbara Comyns but I have read all hers. I HATE misery lit with a passion. I enjoyed Coming Home and The Cammomile Lawn. I liked The Lovely Bones. My guilty pleasure is Monica Dickens.
I love the classics but find them too hard to get through so listen to them on audio. Hardy is my fav.
I suppose I like to read about people, specially ecentrics.
I need something very well written but not too complex as my concentration is still not 100%. I like biogs but not slebs stuff. I am afraid I am not ready for anything too gut/heart wrenching.
Is there any hope for me? Can anyone please help. If I get some good suggestions I will go right to Amazon and order them. I want to regain a pleasure that I have lost due to that fecking illness that took my girl
Bit dramatic but its true (or how I feel at least).
