Used to be I finished every book I started, no matter what. Then I got ahold of Even Cowgirls Get the Blues. Man that book was the worst thing I've *ever* read. I got about half way through it and couldn't take it anymore. I still tend to finish any book I begin but I no longer have a problem with passing on one that doesn't hold my interest. There are too many other, better books out there! Note: Cowgirls was the first time ever not finishing a book for me. That's an indication of how bad it was. ;-)
