I read one book at a time, always have, always will, and I do not abandon it until I am done. It's like watching a baseball game; it may be tiresome and annoying for eight innings, but something spectacular might happen in the ninth that changes the whole experience of the game, and I stay with it in hopes of that happening.

and c) Sometimes I just feel like switching between two stories because I enjoy the whiplash.

Giving you a break from anything challenging or educational or heavy is what television is for.

Dracula is not boring.
Dracula is suspenseful; I like the buildup of tension, waiting for what's going to happen.
