Hijack alert:
You know, one of the changes I've recently made in my life is to give myself permission to
stop reading a book if I don't like it or it's not what I want. Isn't that nuts? I've always felt that if I
started a book, I had to
finish it.
How freeing to be able to say, after a page or 2 or 10 or 100--"nope, not what I was looking for", close it up and take it back to the library unfinished!
Hijack over--back to the thread!
