Ethan Frome

Have you ever stopped reading a book just because you don't know if you can handle the sad ending that you're fairly certain is coming?

no, but I have thought about never finishing a book, because I have loved it so much.

Surprisingly I haven't. I can't not finish a book which is a problem when I think it's dumb or immoral or something like that and I keep reading it anyway only to be slightly disgusted or disturbed and then angry that I spent my time reading it in the first place...

Thought about it, but never have. That book DOES have a really sad ending, though, if I recall my freshman English class correctly.

no. i have stopped half way through just out of laziness many a time. and i did stop half way through your short post before mustering up enough courage. we need to hang out. when you coming to my hometown?

Can I just say that I think it is wonderful that you even have time to read?

LAINA said...

No. But when I am reading I don't mind being sad. Is that strange?
