I get the distinct impression that actors far prefer to play the villain than the hero/ine. As long as the character isn’t just a cardboard cut-out villain of course.
To revert to the original question of the thread: if I get bogged down in a book, I am more likely these days to abandon it than I used to do. There are so many books waiting to be read. It is rare for me to feel unable to get reading, but I can get caught up with other things that eat into my reading time - photography, visitors, working in the garden, and so on. At times like those, I tend to read short stories rather than something more substantial which requires more time to be dedicated to it.
