He has also lent me "Lila", the sequel. I don't have the heart to tell him that I can't bear to look at either of them anymore. I'm going to give it one last try. The book does have interesting parts, but they are inter spaced with incredibly boring parts; perhaps the ending will make up for it? (That is wishful thinking on my part)

Hmmm, I read about 3/4 of that book. I should really finish it. I found I had to be in the mood for the contemplative parts, but then I would actually really enjoy them. You need the headspace to deal with that book. Tell your professor you've got too much on your mind to appreciate it at this point in time but that you've gleaned it's going to be an interesting read and you'll get to it later
