LOL.. Can't think why.. Actually I do find them useful. Gives you an excuse to vent some spleen and really makes you appreciate most of what you read.

I have a few tactics I use when that happens.<br />
1. Dig out an old favourite . Reginald Hill usually does it for me.<br />
2. Change tack. If I've been reading a lot of darker stuff, I go for a cozy. If police procedurals are getting stale, I try for a PI<br />
3. I never let myself read anything by the same author too close together.<br />
4. Change genre<br />
5. Read a real stinkeroo. From cover to cover. Yes, it's painful but it gives you a real appreciation for the good stuff. (if you want the name of a stinkerroo…

I read constantly, so not reading is never an option for me. What I do when I'm in an unbreakable funk is re-read something I've read before and KNOW that I will love. That will usually break the cycle.

network Television??? I'm afraid that would put me to sleep unless it was something like Silent Witness or CSI. This has been the longest reading slump I have ever been in. I only read one book in March and I haven't ready any this month so far.
