True, but I do like to enjoy myself when reading :0)
Tried the Christian Bible once, but got lost after chapter 1 or so.

I almost always read fiction, just because I want to have fun. One of the few non-fiction books that turned my world upside down was 'The Healing Power Of Illness' by Thorwald Dethlefsen & Rudiger Dahlke.

It's been almost 20 years ago that I read it, but it completely changed my point of view on things, on life. Review
It was dry and complicated sometimes, but I struggled my way through and it opened a whole new world. I love it when a book can do that :0)

If you waited 10 years for a book and weren't disappointed, I am wondering how absolutely brilliant it must have been. Perhaps I will give it a try.

I didn't really wait, lol. The 5th book was published in 2002. That's about the time that I read the entire series. I thought the story had been told.
But then she published book number 6 in 2011...It was a big surprise.

And I could pick up just like that again. It felt like not even a year had passed since I read the other ones.
(My girlfriend read all 6 one after another, and she says that the 6th book repeats a lot of the story that was told in the earlier books. Probably the reason why I could pick up the story again s quickly)
