A distinct lack of endings

Sep 14, 2009 21:25

I haven't finished a book since sometime in early June when i started reading Infinite Jest.  This fact shocks and horrifies me to the point that i'm putting the DFW on hold so i can actually finish a book before the month is out.  I still have over 300 (dense) pages to go in Infinite Jest and i know i won't finish it before the summer is over but his lack of endings is driving me mad, something needs to be done.  I'll probably pick up Perdido Street Station where i left off or possibly try to breeze through Born to Run within the week so i can have some sense of closure with something.  Crazy.  And i call myself a book lover....

edit: I'm realising this isn't entirely true.  I've listened to several audio books including Harry Potter 6 & 7, Bill Bryson's Shakespeare book, and Ian McEwan's Saturday.  Phew, guess i'm not as bad off as i thought.
