So to have Reader's Block is a privilege, signifying literacy and access to lots of books. We should be glad to have R. B. (Am I sounding like Polyanna?)
R. B.?

Yes, we do have too many choice of what to read next. But the problem is what to read. What will grab our attention and keep us interested? Books we will eventually read and enjoy may not be what we want to read right now. It's a matter of how ou go about picking the next book to read. One thing that make it hard to choose another book to read is when we get really invested in the book we just finished. When we care about the characters. When we don't want it to have ended.
