Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!

Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!

Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.

So, how’s it going?

Now you’ve got an ereader I recommend dabbling in a bit of fiction! I also thought I didn’t like fiction until I found the things I actually enjoy reading. I particularly enjoy speculative/science fiction myself. Sometimes you find a book that you end up reading in a day or two because the story keeps you wanting to find out more. I liken it to watching TV or movies, but in my head.

School reading is always literary fiction, which is great but doesn’t really do it for me. I can see why it turns people off reading. I didn’t start reading regularly until after 30.

True. Come to think of it - I actually did do a bit of a fiction reading a few years ago, and that was the Dan Brown Series. Really enjoyed the fast pace of those.

I have a hard time looking at a fiction book, and making the decision whether I would enjoy it or not - seems more hit and miss than non-fiction for some reason to me.
