    For several years I have been searching for a book or preferably a series (so there’s more than one) that really draws me in and makes me feel emotions (any) and want to keep reading. I keep trying books that everyone raves about and I get bored and try to push through because everyone says they’re great.

    Here are some I haven’t finished.

    – Throne of Glass series (I’m 54% through #3 Heir of Fire and been mostly bored throughout 2.5 books)
    – Outlander – 31% and bored
    – 11/22/63 – 33% was mildly interesting for a bit but now I’m bored again.
    – Oh William! – 35% and only mildly interested

    Seems like maybe I’m just not going to enjoy anything I try reading right now. I like to feel things and none of these are making me feel anything.

    Some books I have really enjoyed reading:
    – The Book Thief
    – Shantaram
    – Angela’s Ashes
    – A Little Life
    – Harry Potter series
    – To Kill a Mockingbird
    – The World According to Garp
    – The Curious Incident of the Dog in the Nighttime
    – The Green Mile
    – The Kite Runner
    – Life of Pi

    Some of these I read a long time ago because as I said, I’ve been in a slump for a long time, but they were memorable. I listen to a lot of non-fiction audiobooks, especially memoirs, but really want to read a great story.
