Weird question maybe but I find myself being so sensitive at times that I have to put down the book I’m reading and wait some time before I read again.
It can be for example when it all is looking dark and I don’t think thing are going to turn around. It’s silly I guess but I feel so overwhelmed and nervous that I need a break at times.
I’m reading the last chapter in Simon Scarrows book The honor of Rome. Reading the last chapters and I just know things are going to go bad. Or at least I fear it will so I have to take a break before reading again.
I know it’s silly but wondered if someone else felt the same at times.
I had to do this with Crime and Punishment. I started reading this in the second trimester of my pregnancy (during COVID lockdown) but I felt like the book was so intense and depressing i just could not bring myself to finish it.
Obviously hormones and lockdown may have been contributing factors but the book wrecked me
