this is the first time i have done this in ages. i have abandoned a book i started reading. i was reading a book called the swan thieves by elizabeth kostova. she also wrote the historian, which was about a girl who is trying to find her dad while being followed by a vampire archivist. it was a good, fun book and intelligent too. it's one of my all-time favorite pleasure reads.
not so with the swan thieves. in short, i hate it. i don't think you should read it. the characters are lame. i'm on page 158 and i don't care about anyone in the book. i got my copy for free from the harvard bookstore when they did a little promotional event around the 2009 holidays. it was a free advance copy. i think it should go back to the land of free advance copies...
so i've put it aside and am trying not to think of the amount of time it kept me from better books. sigh...

It is definitely better to abandon a book then trudge through it while resenting it the whole time. It took me a while to get to that point with my reading.
