Mike answers “I'm 200+ pages in. There are some great...”

Joan Schleinkofer asked this question about The Nix:

I'm 200+ pages in. There are some great moments, some funny moments ( the college student is the best) but I'm getting bored and wondering if I should throw in the towel. I was always one to finish once started, but at 56 years old have realized life is too short to finish a book I'm not enjoying, my "to read" list is too long for that. Do I trudge forward and hope for the best or quit now and move on? Advice pls?

Mike I've given up reading books that don't grab me, especially ones that that I've had to struggle 100 or 200 pages through, and there are still 400 to go…moreI've given up reading books that don't grab me, especially ones that that I've had to struggle 100 or 200 pages through, and there are still 400 to go. I'm reading this book at present and finding it takes a very long time for anything to actually happen. Far too much detail. I'm hoping it'll improve. (less)

Theresa FAR too much detail.
