Sunday Salon: Books Weighing Me Down
Posted by Cottontimer on 13 Jan 2008 | Tagged as: Reading
Time to buckle down and choose one of these to finish.

The Gene Makeover (reviewing for work)
All these half-read books (and magazines) lying around weigh me down so that I can barely enjoy reading.* I should learn to just let books go unfinished but I had good reasons for starting each of them. So I shall plow on today with Reading Lolita in Tehran and make that finish my goal for the week.
*I did have fun reading Tom Clancy’s The Teeth of the Tiger. How sad that it’s most likely the end of the Jack Ryan series. *sniff* (Yes, I’m a rare woman who reads spy thrillers.)

If your comment doesn't show up immediately, it's probably in moderation. I will approve it as soon as I can! Thanks for your patience.
Does the phrase ‘plow on’ mean that you’re finding this hard going? I’m sorry if that’s the case, because it was one of my non-fiction reads of the year. I hope you manage to get something out of it?
Hi Ann, I’m definitely finding Reading Lolita in Tehran hard-going but perhaps part of it is a lack of concentration on my part. When I had 15 minutes of silence today to read, I found myself getting into it again.
I like spy thrillers!!
I just don’t read very many of them.
Would you believe me if I said that I actually shed a few tears while reading Teeth of the Tiger? What a sissy!
You are not so rare a woman.
I have discovered that I enjoy reading spy thrillers too, although I have not read many. Yet.
I hope you reach your goal and finish the books you set out to. I am hoping to do the same this week as well with at least at least one of my current books.
Thanks for the comment, LF! If I do about 30 pages a night this week, I’ll be able to finish Reading Lolita in Tehran. One of my friends was surprised that I’d calculate it pages/day.
