“It’s not overrated… I just don’t want to deal with it” 

Daily writing prompt
What’s a classic book that you think is overrated?

Too much noise in the head.

May 5th.

7:57 in the morning.

Tried to go to sleep early…

still tired.


Coffee in my hand.

Simba in the window.


I’m not a big reader.

I’m not even gonna pretend.


So when I think about an “overrated” book…

this is gonna sound messed up.


Game of Thrones.


Not the show.

The books.


I’ve never really read them.


And the reason?


It’s not the book.


It’s me.


Too many families.

Too many names.

Too many connections.


My brain hears all that…

and checks out.


I’d rather just watch it.


So yeah…

I call it overrated.


But honestly?


I just don’t want to deal with it.


Maybe one day.


But not anytime soon.
