Well, when I began reading Dom Casmurro, by Machado de Assis, I was so bored with the first descriptions I ended up putting it aside. But later I tried again, and it was somehow easier to pass that part and get to when it really got interesting. But I don't know if I would give the book another chance if I didn't like so much his first one, Mem�rias P�stumas de Br�s Cubas (The Posthumous Memoirs of Bras Cubas). Anyway, I think sometimes the problem isn't only on the book, but also on the reader. So when you get back to it, you are not so annoyed as you first were...
