Gaaaaaaaaaaaaaah.
Okay, I'm reading a book.
I'm 455 pages into it, and I have 120 pages left.
And it's got cast-of-thousands-itis, the plot (such as it is) meanders all over the place both narratively and location-wise, and I'm not really enjoying it, particularly.
I hate not finishing it, but, dude. Life is too short to read a fiction book I have to slog through. I'm one of those people who hates not finishing a book I've started, but I think I'm going to give up on this one. I have two entire bookshelves full of books to read that I will no doubt enjoy more than this, and there's no sense in reading a novel if it's a chore.
Right? Validate me? Someone?

I abandon books half-way through for that very reason. I also stop watching tv series or shut off a movie before the end if it's just not clicking with me.
You're absolutely right, it shouldn't be a chore! ;)

I gave up on "Ulysses" when a bunch of us were reading it, because I kept reading the same pages over and over again. It bored me to tears, and I could never remember what I'd read before. So I quit, in spite of the fact that a number of my friends thought it was the greatest book ever!. Not.

Right now I'm debating if I will ever pick up Cherie Priest's steampunk again. I read like 140 pages and it's sooooooooooo slooooooooooooow and boring and nothing has happened... but I spent fifteen bucks on it!! EGRERGERG!!!
(See. I totally understand. May we know what book so we know what to avoid?)
