A Musing ~ Connection ~ 7/9/12

Each week Miz B at Should Be Reading asks a bookish question to muse over.

This week's musing :

"Have you ever read a book that, at the time, you didn’t feel a strong connection towards, but as time goes by you find yourself thinking about it a lot?"

I can't think of a specific book, but I'm sure it has happened.

Before I had children, I didn't necessarily connect to books where the main characters had children.  Especially romances.  I wanted all the romances to be where the characters in the books were their first loves.  I now understand how having children changes everything.
At one time, I also didn't connect with books where the characters were already married and encountering conflict.  Again I wanted to read about falling in love for the first time...  I now understand that life doesn't end when you say "I Do", and sometimes "happily-ever-after" takes a good bit of work!

So, I guess as my life changes and my view point changes, I'll connect with different types of books and plots.

What about you?

Musing along,
