Welcome, Melody! I think that tracking my reading, which I started in 2008, made me feel like the “wasted” time needed to be accounted for somehow; completed books may carry with them a certain sense of accomplishment, but it’s really not what reading for pleasure is supposed to be about, is it?

Suppose you could always have excerpted a bit of a Quidditch match. Anyone with even a passing interest in HP knows how those always end up finishing anyway :P

I’ve been ridiculously excited about it since the minute I started talking to the Editor/Publisher. Are you an audiobook listener? I may be able to sneak you in early for some tire-kicking on the community, if you’re interested :)

That’s really interesting, Melody; I’d not thought of that, since I’m still very new to listening to audiobooks. Do you find the same to be true of film adaptations?

I am also not a fan of audiobooks. The narrators voices tend to get stuck in my head then everytime I read the book that is the voice I hear instead of what i believe the characters may sound like.

I agree with not wasting precious reading time on books you are just not enjoying. I would only finish a (for lack of a better term at 330 in the morning) “bad” book if there is a charater that I really care about so I can see what happens to him/her. Other than that I would say forget about the book if it isn’t grabbing your attention!

Well, at least there would always be the crossover of memoirs written in prison ;)

Mine is a total toss up between Prison/Law based books to memoirs…

I must agree, this is an evil thing to make someone decide…*sigh*
