bookshelves: couldn-t-finish, history, non-fiction
Excellent history of the Nixon era - especially since we don't learn enough about recent history in school. Although I loved the details, it was so tedious that I couldn't finish it in the three weeks I had it checked out from the library. I will plan to resume reading in the near future. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/38627981 to: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (Millennium, #1) by Stieg Larsson

bookshelves: couldn-t-finish
I just couldn't get into this one. The only reason I got as far as I did was because I had mono and needed to "rest". Maybe I'll pick it back up at a later date and finish it. ]]> http://www.goodreads.com/review/show/33964164 to: The White Tiger (Hardcover) by Aravind Adiga

There's a lot to think about in this one, but geez it's boring as hell. Again, I love McEwan's writing style, but the story itself is pretty ordinary. ]]>
