That way either it will pick up and I'll really enjoy it or I'll force myself to get through it.Brendahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07884767316389408660noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-86046965249738321922011-01-30T02:04:56.138+00:002011-01-30T02:04:56.138+00:00I completely agree with you.

I can usually pick up in the middle again without any trouble though so I never go back and restart the book.noothergodshttp://lanternhollow.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-10811382441084683812011-01-29T15:38:11.894+00:002011-01-29T15:38:11.894+00:00I have had this happen a few times what I did was ...I have had this happen a few times what I did was put those books down for a littlew while and then pick them back up ion a few months for a fresh go....I did this with A GAME OF THRONES, HEROES DIE and MIDNIGHT TIDES...and of course all three are stellar reads. It may have less to do with the books, than your current state of mind doesn't want to accept them. <br /><br />Either that or you hate them. LOL.<br /><br /><br />I'd put them down and give them a future chance.GunMetalBluehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10374362891687088611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-80579247878670976932011-01-29T13:29:47.299+00:002011-01-29T13:29:47.299+00:00The last page: aside from the two charactors, coul...The last page: aside from the two charactors, could it be the writing that's putting you off? it is quite baroque and strange but even then it's an integral part of the book. but it does get VERY interesting<br /><br />This crooked way: dont give that up either. as their are a lot of suprising revelations stretching back to the short stories themselves. but it is very episodic, no? try out the wolf age if you're still not interested.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8679457768571800783.post-72349386126030702462011-01-29T03:29:15.519+00:002011-01-29T03:29:15.519+00:00This happens to me all the time.

I'm always surprised at how much my taste can change over time.SQThttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04251030404220909306noreply@blogger.com
