Hemingway, “The Sun Also Rises.” I thought it couldn’t get any more boring, and then 100 pages in, they go on a fishing trip. Honestly the only thing more boring than fishing is reading about fishing. It was at that point that I put the book down and decided to read the side of a cereal box or the manual for a garage door opener instead.

I don’t know the specifics to the same extent as some of the other people who have already chipped in, but I will say that it is good to support libraries as well as authors. I imagine that the higher their circulation numbers, the more support they will get from whatever agency is funding them.

Does anyone on the thread have a lot of knowledge of how library funding is related to circulation and “customers served”?

This book drove me crazy for one specific reason: every five pages, it’s >!“Geez, we REALLY need Badri to wake up!” I think that was the character’s name. Never has so much of a plot been driven by the fact that there’s one dude in a coma.!<

Don’t get me wrong, the book was well-written and I enjoyed it for the most part, I just got really tired of >!the whole “Badri is in a coma” subplot!<.
