The Last Books I Abandoned

I abandon books a lot more often than I used to. I've learned what I like, and I've also learned that there is a time and place for some books, and sometimes it hasn't come yet, which doesn't mean that it never will. Finally, I've learned that there's no point in completing a challenge that brings you no pleasure.

Happy Top Ten Tuesday over at That Artsy Reader Girl!

The Last 5 Books I Abandoned

1. A Canticle for Leibowitz by Walter M. Miller

I just wasn't feeling it when I started it. It doesn't mean that I'll never finish it, Dad! Remember, I also didn't like The Hobbit the first time I started it :-P

2. Parable of the Talents by Octavia Butler

I absolutely loved Parable of the Sower and I love Octavia Butler, but with a corrupt president trying to "make America great again," this one hit too close to the bone, and I couldn't get any further. Someday, when times are better.

3. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali

I'm not ready for this one yet.

4. One True Thing by Anna Quindlen

I love pretty much everything by Anna Quindlen, but I just wasn't feeling this one when I started it.

5. The Elegance of the Hedgehog by Muriel Barry

I couldn't get into this one. I didn't relate to the characters, so not sure if I will pick it up again or not.
