The circumstances of dropping one and not finishing is simply too many emotions interfering. <I>Look Me In The Eye</I> is fantastic, but I can't pick it up and finish it, though I'm so close. It makes me continually question myself and my own past and how it will all play out in the words in front of me on my on my own pages...Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05461238423288359578noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19077980.post-74978041651594208522007-10-25T20:21:00.000-06:002007-10-25T20:21:00.000-06:00Hee hee - beware of dog :) Max is adorable!Hee hee - beware of dog :) Max is adorable!YawnOverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03709655565262326988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19077980.post-77855070370338954312007-10-25T19:16:00.000-06:002007-10-25T19:16:00.000-06:00I started "The Lovely Bones" because everyone and ...I started "The Lovely Bones" because everyone and her brother was reading it, but it was way too creepy for me and I had to stop. As a mom of little girls, reading about a little girl who gets murdered was freaking me out. Same for "The Secret Life of Bees" - couldn't take the child abuse. Books are an escape for me; if I want to be horrified I'll watch the news.becky c.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13805554692163431825noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19077980.post-16341655773128564572007-10-25T19:13:00.000-06:002007-10-25T19:13:00.000-06:00Max look too comfy...what a great doggie!

Books I have abandoned are too many to number....I started the Lovely Bones but stopped because of the content, and then there was Huckleberry Finn...BORING! How about any book on Oprah's list. Talk about sticking my head in the oven. They are all so depressing. But for every dud there is Trollope, Austin, and Elenor Lipman!Donnahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08093089841299104380noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-19077980.post-20027395478318083822007-10-25T13:36:00.000-06:002007-10-25T13:36:00.000-06:00In my younger days I tossed aside Pride and Prejud...In my younger days I tossed aside Pride and Prejudice because I had to read it or because I thought it was too wordy.
