In the past week, I've been reading Rick Riordan's latest book, The Hammer of Thor. This book has made me think of the times that I read his older works, and it made me reflect on how my perception has changed over the years. The older I become, the more I see that his books are geared to a younger audience.
One of the hardest things to overcome is realizing that it's time to move onto more challenging novels, and stop reading below your reading level for purely nostalgic purposes. It is something that I am just beginning to accomplish. I want to branch out with my reading and read classics such as Shakespeare, Vonnegut, and Poe.
Vonnegut is a great author. I recommend reading his book the Siren of Titan.
