Slow Progress (Book Blog 11 on "The Good Thief")

Hello everyone! How is your blogging and reading going? Well for me it is going.....slow. Very, very, very slow. It's not that I don't like "The Good Thief". I actually like it, it is just very slow paced and not living up to my expectations.

So, let me explain.

You see, in the beginning the book had some very nice characterization and the author did an amazing job of opening up the story, but it doesn't seem like there are any problems in the book anymore and it is just so slow paced and it makes me not want to read. Normally, I would never consider this, but now I am. I am actually considering abandoning this book. So, I am writing this post so that you all can help me, and so that I can help myself.

So, here is my pro's and con's for abandoning the book:

Pros:

• Can read a different book and be more passionate and motivated to read it
• More blogging because of increased reading
• No complaining when I have to read

Cons:

• Lose time I have used to read this book
• Need to find a new book quickly
• I don't get to see what happens in the rest of the book

So what do you all think? Should I abandon this book, or hold it together and keep reading?
