The nice thing about reading books that cost me nothing more than a bit of download time to read is that I don't feel guilty not finishing it. That said, I did finish the book. You won't miss anything by not reading it. Life's too short and there are too many good books out there.

If it isn't catching your attention I would say use the delete key.

However, once again, I highly enjoyed Little Brother... also available as a free eBook under the Creative Commons license.
