If one slips past me, I will generally force myself to finish the book no matter how painful, and sometimes it is pure torture.<br /><br />New GFC follower and Blogoholic member <br />Wendy @ http://www.ragesexandteddy bears.blogspot.comSebella Bluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15747788805288721831noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655053213436215112.post-83878609139237020042011-08-16T20:00:25.721-04:002011-08-16T20:00:25.721-04:00I hear ya, I have the 1-click freebie and low-pric...I hear ya, I have the 1-click freebie and low-priced addict thing going on with my Kindle 3G wi-fi!

Of course that being said if I would stop wasting time on my computer on Twitter, FB, reading and commenting on blogs than the 400+ books that are on my To Be Read shelves might actually get read.<br /><br />Kathy it varies for everyone but like Patricia said if you put a book down and read something else you might come back another day and the book that was giving you trouble may be just the one you enjoy the most after all.<br /><br />Alexia also made a good point, there are too many good books that we want to read so wasting your time with one you find yourself wishing you had never opened is not worth it in the long run.<br /><br />[am now following all over the place, here and twitter and FB liked and so forth.

But there are so many other books out there, waiting to be read, so why torture yourself with finishing a book you hate when you could be reading a book you love? Good luck!Alexia561https://www.blogger.com/profile/10797515620050469395noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3655053213436215112.post-61009976042313887972011-08-16T18:50:47.178-04:002011-08-16T18:50:47.178-04:00Most books draw me in but if I feel dread when I g...Most books draw me in but if I feel dread when I go to pick on up after already reading a couple of chapters I debate whether to leave it or finish it. Especially if it go good reviews. I feel as if I must be missing something that other evidently got. I usually put it away and wait for another day maybe it was just my mood around the time I started the book.<br />Following you now!Patriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03736398223095402564noreply@blogger.com
