I just started Michael Crichton's Prey but I'm having a hard time getting into it. I usually love his stuff but I'm sure it's just me.

I used to read all the time because my mom got me into it and she'd give me her latest books but since she died 4 years ago I haven't been able to read. I think I've finished 1 or 2 books at best. I don't really understand why - some kind of mental block I guess.

I have dozens of paperbacks waiting on me but I just can't seem to read.
