agilebritOkay, 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?

Date: 2010-05-08 12:12 am (UTC)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! ;)
