I'm really enjoying Ray Bradbury book: "Zen in the Art of Writing". Now 50% read since yesterday and makes me think about the art of writing. I wanna try to write 1000 words per day as he did
Ok, "Fahrenheit 451" added in my TBR list! #reader#reading#book#bookworm#RayBradbury
"Mystery interwined in a pioneering supernatural world. It can easily make a fantastic bestseller."

I'm reading two different books from H.P. #Lovecraft: "A Confession of Unfaith" and "Philosophical Essays". But I found out that several essays appears in both books, which makes my reading easier. Fewer pages left to be read soon. Love it. #Reader#Reading#BookWorm#Books
This may be a silly question, but how does one actually read short story collections? Is it the same as if reading a novel? Do you put the book down between every story? Do you look for connections between the stories? Am I supposed to read them linearly?
@Namnatulco I just finished reading the I, Robot book which is a compilation of Asimov's short stories about robots over a long period of time. That probably has more connectivity and linearity than a compilation of short stories from multiple authors. But even in that form they were only loosely related. There was a through thread of the Three Laws of Robotics and the basic technology of their "brains" but otherwise there wasn't a lot of connectivity to them. So they could have been read in any order even though I started front to back. I definitely had pauses between them but I do that with reading regular novels too.
@hankg thanks! I used to do that, but I kinda gave up pauses between novels (at least switching between multiple ones), because I started to feel lost between a bunch of books and never really finishing any while still wanting to. But it might work better for short stories.
Do you know of a book recommendation engine that will suggest fiction books based on the non-fiction books I read and like?
I want to get more into fiction, and it’s been hard to nail down books that can keep my interest beyond the first few chapters. Thanks in advance! And please boost for wider exposure. #bookworm#books#bookrecommendations
