Ugh... I've been trudging through a difficult book for 3 months

. I JUST finished it about five minutes ago. What a relief!
The book was a best seller. I think it was one of those books that many people bought just to leave laying in a prominent place to show how intelligent they are. Maybe some read the interesting parts and skipped over the boring parts. Regardless, I had to force myself to finish it (I had external reasons for wanting to finish the entire book, so I didn't just drop it, as temping as that was, nor did I pick up another to distract me lest I never finish it).
Anyhow... 5 pages per day... OUCH. That really pulled down my average for the year and even had a visible dent in my 3 year rolling average. :-(
Time to pick up some really light reading and try to catch up with my original GoodReads goal for the year! :-)
