Have you ever a read a book that just doesn't get better? Do you give up and pick up another or do you keep going because there's no such thing as giving up on a book? Recently I've been trying and failing to read this one book that is well written and has some of the elements that should make a great read however I can't seem to get past the page 23. This book isn't getting any better, it is well written but lacks emotion and understanding.
Admittedly I'm a skipper, if a book is so awful, I skip chapters and hope for the best. This rarely happens but when it does, I doubt my love of books.So I'm not sure what to do, do I keep reading and hopefully the book might pick up or do I give because frankly life's too short. This isn't the first time I've been defeated by a book, these are the top three books that I've read and wished I hadn't.
Firstly To The Lighthouse because at 13 years I struggled with the language and Virginia Woolf's style of writing. Second on my list is Fifty Shades of Grey because once I finished the series I felt like I had lost a couple of brain cells. And finally Moby Dick because "call me Ishmael" is the best part of this book.
