I do the same. And lately, if the interest doesn't come back, I simply abandon the book. I do record that I started the book, how far I read, and why I've decided not to finish it.

Well, I've got a few to read before I'm ready for Written in My Own Heart's Blood and I've been reading the Lord John series as well. Looks like I need to move this series higher on my TBR list.

Hmmmm. I had a paperback copy of Empire Falls around for a while and for whatever reason, I just didn't start to read it, so I gave the book to a fellow reader. Maybe I need to revisit this one soon.
