I have heard this line here before and now I will use it.
I have been trying to finish needful things for like a year. So far it is the ONLY SK book that I have picked up and put down. ONLY because I can't stay into it. I read it when I run out of other stuff to read then Find something else by SK to read, read that, then pick up Needful things again. I probably have around 50-100 pages left. I will finish it only out of respect for the author but I have to say it doesn't move me in anyway......
Let the ANGRY responses begin (I am wincing away right now aaaaaaaaaah)
I have had books that I just could not finish. Lisey's Story, for one. Can't do it. I tried so many times.
And it is his favorite.
But then again, I have picked up a book that I could not finish, read it again - and loved it.
I guess it is your state of mind at the time.
