WHEN YOU READ A BOOK THAT YOU JUST CAN'T GET INTO, DO YOU STICK IT OUT AND KEEP READING OR MOVE TO YOUR NEXT TITLE?
Inevitably, I convince myself I'm going to finish it, but then never pick it up again. I usually have a few books going at a time anyway, so it doesn't seem like I'm skipping it or moving on or anything-- I'm just reading the other books more, that's all, honest. Though this happens more with prose than comics, since comics are faster reads anyway-- I'll usually finish them before I realize I think they suck! The only graphic novel I couldn't finish was Jeff Smith's Bone, which I know is utter blasphemy. I didn't think it was bad--in fact I did find it charming--but it just didn't grab my attention. Plus it was a library book and I was sick of renewing it.
thanks for posting at my site, I'm hoping to do a "graphic novel November" thing. should be fun, if I can keep it up! some star wars, some manga, some action philosophers, some steampunk, oh the possibilities!

Thanks for hopping by. Sounds like me - I will put books down planning do go back to them but often never do.
