Question Two
If a book doesn't grab you, do you keep reading or give up?
I don't like leaving books unfinished, but some books just torture me so.
I've quit Moby Dick since the book I was using then was so old that its smell would either make me sneeze or go sleepy. Books have a distinct book-y smell, but this one, it just smelled old.
David Foster Wallace's Infinite Jest was so long and it got to be really annoying having to go to and fro with the ridiculous amount of footnotes so I put it on hiatus and read something else which is...
Neil Gaiman's The Ocean at the End of the Lane. I don't know. It's a tad too boring for me. I'm considering quitting it but I'm already halfway so I guess I'll just tough it out.
