Mine’s The Unabridged Journals of Sylvia Plath. Thick books never stopped me from reading nonstop before, but there are entries in the book that just has me stopping and taking time to mull things over.

Also, sharing this excerpt: “Not to be sentimental, as I sound, but why the hell are we conditioned into the smooth strawberry-and-cream Mother-Goose-world, Alice-in-Wonderland fable, only to be broken on the wheel as we grow older and become aware of ourselves as individuals with a dull responsibility in life?”

    I’ve been ‘reading’ Fairy Tale by Stephen King since August. When I pick it up I am enjoying it, but then I pop it down and weeks go by before I open it again

      This was me with It! So good but every time I soaked up about 100 pages real quick and then put it down again, it was like a whole month went by each time.

      I’ve been “reading” this for months. I keep renewing my library loan but I’m determined to finish before 2024. It’s not like it’s bad so I don’t know why it’s taking so long.
