Don't you think that sometimes you have to struggle (at least a little) to get the most out of some books? And by "struggle", I mean, by definition, you're not enjoying it. Well, to bring this down from the abstract to the concrete, I'm trying to decide whether or not to stick with
From Here to Eternity. It was one of the daily specials a couple of days ago on Amazon, and since I love to read long books, I bit. But I'm really having a hard time getting into it.

Speaking of one that's been hard for me to get into, I've probably started this book a half dozen times and never gotten very far. Maybe it's time for me to try again.
