“disgusting piece of shit”
Piers Morgan
Got this yesterday. About sixty pages in so far and I’m really enjoying it. Will probably finish it in no time.
does anyone read multiple books at the same time
Only when i cant really be arsed with any of them, plus some books i’m basically always re-reading on the backburner (LOTR)
i think the internet has splintered my brain. can’t focus on one book anymore, end up kind of channel surfing between a couple. takes so long to finish them this way.
Yes. I have at least three books on the go at the moment (maybe four.) I’ve always been this way though.
yeah, I thought exactly the same thing about this book too
need to read more true crime really
i feel guilty about abandoning a book for something else if it gets boring or i lose interest but it has to be done
Books have to be pretty shocking for me to abandon them, i’m a finisher
If i’m gonna abandon then i’ll do it in the first 20 or 30 pages.
Recently bought a book by an ex-FBI agent turned author which i abandoned in the first paragraph. Really gotta learn to get the free sample first.
the guilt always gets the better of me eventually, and i’ll finish it somehow. end up forgetting what’s happened up to that point tho.
I have three on the go! One is the new Murakami which tbf I’ve not touched in four weeks… so probably just two
How far did you get?
200 pages, I think. It did seem although it may have been about to get going plot wise. Up until then it’d been an absolute slog.
Ive been trying to read during any spare moment - an hour at lunch, forty minutes on the train, a little before bed. I was actually resenting reading it. I’m waiting on a couple of library books so I may give it a bash again.
It just felt so stale.
Ha funny that, i really liked the first 1/3rd but thought it got progressively worse. But yeah i guess it should get going more soonish.
it’s also a really heavy hard back, which adds to my frustration.
Read Convenience Store Woman last week. Liked it a lot.
Finished The Alice Project over the weekend which is not really my style of book but a good read, good strong female characters which I always like.
Now on Black Eyed Susan’s. So far seems ok.
I love Celeste Ng. Fabulous writing, such truths are told.
Have you read Chimamanda Ngozi Adichie? Love her writing too, and Miriam Toews
Ah yeah i just kindled it, cannae be fucked with hardbacks
I haven’t read anything by either but will rectify that! I’m reading Manhattan Beach by Jennifer Egan at the moment, enjoying it so far.
