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.

I'm about half way through and it's another great read. Having his way with the world of academia and doing it brilliantly.

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.
