Yes, me too, I guess that goes for all fiction. I'm really an avid reader, but I often find it difficult to find stuff that's any good. I suppose there's plenty of it out there, it's just hidden in the midst of so much stuff that's no good.
I'm going over to the library and try to find some worthwhile art history books, maybe I can figure out some of what the masters were doing. Not the same as good escapist fiction, though.
There was a thread posted on modern art last night that I want to find and read.
Along with that, it's harder to multi-task when you're reading!
