So this is the dilemma, I’m only two books into this whole 100 books thing and I want to stop reading this book, The Ginger Man. It doesn’t appeal and I am not enjoying it. So what to do? Keep reading, look for the silver lining, give it my all?
Or move on?
It’s a real problem for me. I made this commitment, albeit to only myself, to read all this books. If I give up on this one, won’t it be easy to give up on the next or the next? Will this become a blog of fail?
Hhmmm... it’s a really tough call.
I’ve quite books before. Started reading any number of novels and decided part way in that I’m just not enjoying the story or the characters are annoying. I started reading a book once about Camelot and Avalon, a subject I love, but all the characters spoke in modern slang, it was too much. I dropped that book (no, I don’t remember the title).
But prior to this, all those books I was just reading for enjoyment, not to write about them. But if I keep reading books I’m not enjoying and writing about them the risk is that all my posts get really whiny. No one wants to read that.
Am I reading these books for the enjoyment of reading them or to write this blog?
These are rhetorical questions here. I really need some advice.
