Reading other genres

So I tried to broaden my horizons this week and step out of my normal genre of reading. I mostly read fantasy/YA, I have read a few others, and I’m not sure how to classify Nicholas Sparks. So one of my co-workers said he would bring me a couple of Crime/Police Thrillers, if you will, to try out. I’m always game for something new. For the most part I’ll try anything once, except eating bugs. I might drag my feet at first, like on reading Twilight, but I do try

I’m not going to list the books, because I wouldn’t want to trash someone’s blood, sweat and tears. I’m sure there are many people out there that probably loved that book. I made it to chapter 6 on the first book; of course it was like pulling teeth to do so. At this point I decided I had tried enough. So I'm going to put it down. Which is hard for me. I don't like leaving unfinished books, but you have to know when to cut your ties and move on. Now even though I didn’t enjoy this one book, I’m still going to give the other a try this weekend. I’ll let you know how it goes.


So is it hard for you to read outside of your comfort zone?




Oh and has anyone noticed I like to say “SO”?
