I started to read a book that my mother-in-law told me to read. I love to read when I have the time, but I love to read easy non thought provoking books, you know the bodice rippers!!!!!
The book she told me to read was the "The Shack" It started so strong, and I thought I was in for a great read. The nights went bye with me only falling asleep every time I tried to read the book, or would start to skim through to get to something more interesting.
Alas I could not finish the book, and have now decided to move on to something more my speed.
So the question is do you put down a book you don't like or do you keep reading until it's over to find out how it ends??????

If the book isn't captavating.. I'm not wasting my time.
I hate to read.. ( I know.. we have alot in commen don't we.. he-he ) so in order for me to read.. it's gotta be INCREDIBLE. Did you read the twilight series? Love or hate it? I have heard that the best books out right now are the" Hunger games" and " Catching Fire." Blogs friends have said that they read it in a day.. it's so good.
I have like 10 books I LOVE.. Not much of a reader.. unless you count magazines as reading.. tee-hee...
I too, read 'The Shack', and was like you, loved the beginning, but got bored! I found myself skimming through it, flipping pages, ect. I liked the end, but would I recommend the book, na! I think you made a wise decision to quit!
P.S.I like to read books with some 'good lovin' in them, you know what I mean!! Bring on the smut!
goll. it depends. there has been a couple that i've started and i've been bored out of my mind! but... i did finish. i wouldn't pass them along to anyone else...
I am a total bookworm and like most books but from time to time there is a book that just never gets better. I do not waste my time. Seriously life is too short and there are way too many good books out there!
I have to finish every book that I start...kind of an OCD type thing. I may skim through it and not read it as thoroughly but I have to finish it...have to!
Get rid of it! Move on to one of those bodice rippers you know you will enjoy. ha ha ah
Nope. I give a book two chapters top. If I'm not "into" by then, I don't waste another minute. Can you tell, I don't LOVE to read so I have to read things I love.
Hi Emma
I posted a comment on your thong blog because I got distracted and I wanted to say hi back after you visited my new blog. That book you were reading was recommended to me also but I haven't got a copy yet. I usually try to push through to see if there is some great ending but when I have to keep reading the same pages over and over because my mind is wandering, I know it's not grabbing me. You might try putting it in your car for when you are waiting to pick up kids and even if you get a page or 2 done at a time- you might just get to the end after all. If it turns out to be brilliant. Let me know :)
No I drop it and move on to the next one! Life's to short for bad books :)
Thanks Emma
Now I know who you are. So are you Canadian born or American. Sounds like your American.
So glad for your mom. She looks awesome just like her daughter... you!
You can be my friend anytime.
Love Claudie

P.S. You didn't leave your WISH...but your comment thing is on.
Emma, you KNOW I can't put a book down once I start reading it ---no matter, I finish it. And more often then not, it ends up being good.
Yes, the second Twilight book. Worst book ever! I would have rather read my accounting textbook or watched the grass grow. I sadly finished the book thinking it would get better... It didn't so I have given up on all the rest of her dumb books.
I have ended books in the middle if they do not keep me interested and I feel no guilt grabbing a new one. I really like to read books and my time is worth LOTS of $$$ to me, so the book better be the best thing since sliced bread.
Hi Emma
Just read your mom's hitching post.. so happy for her.
I'm just wondering why when I put my mouse over your name when you comment, it does nothing? I like to click and go see you, but I can't. Now your mom's site, no problem.
Just wondering.
Hope your having a great weekend.
Love Claudie

Your such a doll.
Sometimes I muddle through the book, especially if I've got a lot of time invested in it. More often than not, I put it down. Free time is to valuable to waste reading a crummy book. I also lost interest in The Shack.
