Why Do I Keep Doing This?!

Why do I keep doing this? I’m reading Clavell’s Gai-jin despite the fact that I didn’t like the first two books in the series that much. I’m over a week and a half in and I’m still just only over halfway through because I just don’t care for it much and can’t make myself read much at a time. The second volume was better than the first and with less pages spent on hysterically unbelievable fascination with white male genitals, but this one is like a combination of the first and the second and we’re right back to unbelievable white male genital fascination. This is some seriously bad middle-aged white guy Asia fascination fiction…but it’s so hard to stop in the middle of a series since I hate leaving things uncompleted. I’ve ordered the next two books in the series.

This is going to suck.
