It took me WAY too long to finish THE MOVIEGOER by Walker Percy over the weekend. It’s a short book, but I found it unbelievably boring and by the time I reached the end I was just so relieved it was over and I could move on to something I gave anything resembling a shit about.
I was about halfway through before I decided the “slow start” was in fact a “boring book”. I wish I had reached this conclusion sooner because by the time I get to halfway (depending on the length of the book) I figure I might as well finish the stupid thing. I’ve gotten better about not continuing things I am not into, but it’s a bit harder if the book (or in this case, audio book) is under 300 pages (6 hours).
Anyway, at least I’m one book closer to reaching my Goodreads reading goal for 2020 and can read something I like now.
