Introducing Literary Criticism

Readers block

Things change. I once read 95% fact. Several years back though I slowly swung to a 50/50 mix of fact and fiction. I read some very fine fiction and was enthralled by it. I wanted more.

But what happens when the last couple of fictions have not lived up to expectations? One heads back to tried and trusted fact. But what happens when you are really really enjoying that and (stupidly) begin a highly rated classic but find that half way through you regret stopping reading the book you were enjoying and starting this classic? You do something really unusual (and stupid) and read a cheap graphic guide about literary criticism in the hope you get your mojo back as to reading the classic.

Didn't work and I am none the wiser as to literary criticism in general. “Sigh”
