Now I don't feel so bad. I, too, have an English Lit. degree (also 1 of more than 1 degrees -- the other is in Communications/Photography)...and rarely ever read. If I get caught up in a series I will inhale them all, but it's been a while. I think I'm mostly overwhelmed...there are SO many good books out there that I just don't know where to start. And due to the Internet I am constantly reading, just not novels/fiction. I will learn everything I can about a given topic, though. I spend the day googling.

I never got heavily into romance novels. They always seemed so formulaic. My BFF is really into the funny Janet Evanovich/Stephanie Plum novels. I think I made it through 3 or 4 before I got bored, because they were all the same. I get bored too quickly with predictability.
