It's Not You, It's Me: Soon I Will Be Invincible

 

If I had started reading Soon I Will Be Invincible at any other time, then maybe, just maybe, I would have an actual review to share.  Instead, I started reading Austin Grossman's spin on superheroes just as some big life decisions were in the process of being made - which may have a negative effect upon this blog, but that's for another post -  resulting in my head being all over the place at the moment (no it hasn't detached itself from my body a la J.D's floating head, more just a lot of thinking and circles).

I know it sounds weird, but I just couldn't latch onto the story.  For a week I was forcing myself to try and read Soon I...and at the most I would only manage about 10 pages at a time, not really taking in what was happening.

So I did something that I haven't done in a while.  I decided to return Soon I...to the library unfinished.  I feel guilty that I haven't stuck it out to the bitter end, but right now I need a book that will let me escape from the current madness; a narrative that will anchor me into the story and not let my mind go until the last word.  Here's hoping my next book choice will do that for me.
