Have you ever started reading a book because you "feel in the mood" to read it, but then the next day, or a few days down the track, you "don't feel in the mood" to read it, and it takes forever to get through because you keep thinking about what book you are going to read next and realise you've read a whole chapter (or chapters) and it has gone in one eye and out the other?
I have.
I finsihed a book about a week ago that was 200 pages long, and
R E A L L Y spread out on each page. I did a quick approx word count and it only added up to 36,000 words. That's damn short. I was in the mood to read it, and then I wasn't. It took me three weeks to finish it. I feel sad for wasting so much time (it is precious nowadays you know).

Perhaps I should have put it on the side lines and started a different one until my "mood" reappeared.
Anyone else ever have to deal with mood change dictating your reading pace? You ever kick yourself for letting it?
