It actually picks up pretty fast in the second half. Got much better after that.

I usually finish all the books I read but there are a few that I just lost complete interest it. Brightly Woven by Alexandra Brackmen and Agnes and the Hitman by Jennifer Cruise. They werent bad, I just couldn't hold on...

Moby Dick, Robinson Crusoe, The Call of the Wild. I'm sure you guys can see the pattern here...

I did those last two when I was still in middle school, but I still cannot make myself get into Moby Dick. I read literally the first 2 pages each time and then "coincidentally" find something else that needs doing.

^ I know what you mean! Come to think of it, I doubt I read Treasure Island either. I did read Kidnapped and enjoyed it, and I read Ivanhoe and Beowulf... But I was more of an Austen/ Brontë/ Dickens kind of girl. And I LOVED The Woman in White by Wilkie Collins.

American Psycho

I tried twice and it's just boring. Shocking since I'm a huge fan of the 80's and psychotic thrillers. Perhaps I didn't get far enough in and gave up too soon.

Twilight

1984 by Orwell
