But, I suppose I'd feel even worse if I continued on with maybe another 200 pages only to be completely disappointed with the book!<BR/><BR/>Booklogged - The book I was reading turned out to be pretty good. The title (Stone Creek) is the location.<BR/><BR/>Stephanie - No, they sure can't. <BR/><BR/>Thanks for the good thoughts this month. They're greatly appreciated. Hard to believe it'll be three years on Wednesday...<BR/><BR/>Maudeen - I <I>do</I> feel ok about quitting a book, but it takes me a while to make that decision. I tend to hesitate, wondering if it might wind up being a great read if I can only get past the dull part. I used to feel like I had to finish everything I started, but there just aren't enough hours in the day to read everything I WANT to read, let alone the junk that I'm not enjoying.Leshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08345657431432380804noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-89365491353406449572008-05-17T07:47:00.000-07:002008-05-17T07:47:00.000-07:00I am glad to see there is someone else who feels O...I am glad to see there is someone else who feels OK with not finishing a book. So many times I come up against readers who feel that once they've started a book they MUST finish it no matter that. I say, there are too many books to be read to put myself through misery if I am reading something I'm not enjoying! Good for you for knowing then it's time to move on.Beachreaderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12758420829062991423noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-22415234.post-45995688506861662862008-05-16T13:29:00.000-07:002008-05-16T13:29:00.000-07:00Well, they can't all be great reads, right?
