I've noticed a disturbing tendency since getting my Kindle. I seem to give up on books a lot more often than I used to. Has anyone else noticed this with an ereader?
The other side of the coin may be that I'm a lot harder to impress than I used to be. I've just finished Neil Gaiman's "Neverwhere", which I found on the "most gripping books" list at goodreads.
It was a struggle. I really didn't get it. The character had nothing going for him, was spineless, and basically followed a group of women through a fantasy world that Gaiman kept undermining with dumb humour.
I was like, "Neh", as the Ys would say, though I'm sure there's plenty of people who'd disagree with me.
