> I've given up ont he "Dirty Havana Trilogy"... It might be cos my mood is bad this few weeks, but I just couldn;t get into the book at all.. and I never give up on books, so feel like a failure!! It just didn;t scan at all. Each chapter jumped arund, but gave you no idea of where abouts it was..

> So, I;m gonna read magazines for a few days.. a nd then start on "About Schmidt" and see how that goes!!!

> Nikki xNikki, I bet I'm quite a bit older than you and let me tell you , lady, I've given up on quite a few books in this lifetime. Sometimes I've gone back to them, sometimes not. No failure there. Just disinterest. And why struggle with something that we aren't getting into? I counted the books in my bedroom last night that I HAVEN'T read yet and it appalled me...at first. Then I decided there are reasons that I haven't read them and stacked them all back in the bookcase. Then I went back to the news and drifted off to sleep. And who knows, that book might be more interesting in a year or two? Or maybe never. But no failure. Just a detour.xoxoxox and what is more refreshing than a magazine at times? it isn't
"permanent" (next issue will be totally different) and requires not alot of effort. I call them my second vice!! (coffee is my first)
