As I’ve lately been a bit busier than normal, I haven’t been posting as much. Probably doesn’t matter. With the weather getting better, you probably haven’t been reading as much. I have, however, been reading more paper than I have in a while. Been through five books in the past five days and I’ve enjoyed them all. Reviewing books turned me off reading them.
I completely lost interest in fiction for some time. (I still read some but my reaction was mainly, as the kids say – meh.) Though I still lean heavily towards non-fiction, it’s really nice to be getting my taste for the imagination back. I’ve also been pounding back the essays.
And I found one by Orwell, “Confessions of a Book Reviewer” that I wanted to share with you. It might line up with your experience of the craft –if you have any– or it might not. It does line up with mine.
Orwell is, as always, just plain and honest. Aside from which, the thing has some application to bloggers.
So, go read, enjoy, and I’ll be back before ya know it.
