I've gotten much better at accepting that every book I pick up is not going to be my cup of tea. Sometimes I will even keep track of those in my little spreadsheet and write about why the book didn't work out for me. There's a book I started two times and actually enjoyed it as far as i got. But for some reason I still haven't finished it. It's called The Strangeness of Beauty. I want to get back to it. I can see that I have several stickies in it and recall that I was inspired by many concepts in it and blogged about one of them and that one of my blog tittles from years ago was inspired by the tittle of the book...yet, I have not finished it. It's such a beautiful, generational book of identity, family, and traditions from a Japanese perspective. I think that I want to be in the right mood when I finish it, just not sure when that mood will come. <br /><br />Now that classes are winding down, I'm trying to get back into my regular reading groove. It feels good.

That's so sad that your used book store went out of business. A lot of small bookstores have closed shop. I used to spend my lunch breaks at one frequently, but it closed. I started a new book. I remember when it first came out. Found it at a second hand store. The Memory Keepers Daughter. So far I'm really enjoying it.

It doesn't always work, some books do not please me, yet I plough on and they take eternity to finish: or, at least that's what it seems to be. I rarely cast books aside, though I am beginning to edit more of them as I read.
