Read a Trashy Novel

This is my first of a series of posts where I tell you about something I like.. something random… a song, a book I just read, food…  anything.

When I was traveling to and from NY for the O’Reilly Factor show, I was stuck in the airport with nothing to read… so I picked up a Jackie Collins novel, and let me tell you something…  I LOVED IT!  For the next day I was engrossed in the book and didn’t put it down until I was done with it.  It was so refreshing to read something light, and people have been telling me about Jackie Collins for some time… so I took a chance and had fun in the process.

After I read the book, I started to think about the fact that so many people I know, DON’T READ!  And the ones that do read DON’T ENJOY what they are reading.

Let me clarify.  When I ask most of my friends what they are reading, they invariably tell me “Oh, I’m reading 3 books right now” and the books are always self help related.  I used to do the same thing.. and I would end up with 3 or 4 half-read books on my bedside table, until I realized that I wasn’t enjoying those books. So one day, I put the those books in the book-shelf, and went and bought the trashiest romance novel I could find and I polished the book off in a day!  As opposed to months of reading for the other books!

So my advice to my friends and to you is:

Put those half-read books away and go buy a good fun trashy novel!

Whether it be a romance novel, or a murder mystery, or spy book, just get something fun to read… and start enjoying reading again!

It’s far better to read something fun that may not be so “educational” than it is to not read at all, which is what happens when you start reading these books that you never seem to finish!

For the women out there (and some of the men ), here is a link to that Jackie Collins book I just read…. it’s called Married Lovers.  If you want to read something fun and light, check it out
