I'm failing to get into the creative zone
but I have a cup of tea.
Should I read To Kill a Mocking Bird or Of Mice and Men first? I'm trying to be cleverer and stuff

I had a little cry reading of mice and men, really loved it.
To kill a mockingbird is a bit bag of shite and not worth your time.

Don't listen to Winders and Nakers, TKAM is a good book
Read Of Mice and Men first, because it'll only take you an hour.

Instead I'll persuade you by reading it aloud to you, while stroking your hair as you lay your head in my lap.

We all have different emotional reactions to different situations, understanding that is basic empathy.

ent read it
And I'm not saying that I don't become emotionally affected by what happens in books. Callousness to characters is typical of several authors I like (Houellebecq, Amis and Camus, for instance), but crying about it is just weird if you're past your early teens.
