Genre Reading
Feb. 1st, 2021 01:47 amIt's somewhat vexing to me that I have so much trouble reading stories that aren't in the fantasy or sci-fi genres. I may be more open to different plotlines and themes than I was when I was younger, but there's still a part of me that's 5 years old and needs to see some weird stuff. This isn't to say that I think fantasy and sci-fi can't be intellectual, because I think there's plenty of both that is, but that I'm probably missing out on a lot of good stuff because of my resistance to reading outside these genres. Though also, I think I would find it a lot more painful to read a bad story outside of these genres than I do to read bad stories inside of them.
