here's the deal. i love love love to read but i simply cannot get into most books i've tried (i'll read the first 30 pages of pretty much anything). i like history and gravitate towards nonfiction but i'm trying to read more fiction because i find it stokes my creativity more overall. my fav authors at the moment are toni morrison and cormac mccarthy. i recently read the folly by ivan vladislovic and quite liked it. my brain has been ruined by the internet so im looking for novels on the shorter side for now. any ideas?
