Sometimes I reread a paragraph three times, not because I didn’t understand it, but because I was mentally casting the movie and got distracted deciding who plays the brooding side character.

Maybe it’s an unpopular take, but flowery prose loses me fast. If it takes a paragraph to say someone is sad, I stop feeling anything at all. Give me clean sentences that cut. Curious if others feel drained by “beautiful” writing too?

I know it’s sacred to some, but I’ve never felt bad about stopping a book halfway. Life’s too short to read something you’re slogging through out of guilt. Genuinely curious, do you always finish, even if you’re not into it?

I keep dog-earing pages for quotes I want to remember, then finish the book and completely forget why any of them mattered. Now it just looks like I got really emotional every ten pages.

Sometimes I flip to the end of a book, not to spoil it, but to *feel* what kind of emotional damage I'm signing up for. It's like checking the weather before going outside, just emotionally.
