I liked that book, and I still haven't seen the movie, must add it to my queue. I used to finish everything, not so much anymore.

Good luck with them, there is something very rewarding about knitting socks I think.<br /><br />I have quit books that don't appeal, but have also been known to persevere hoping it would grow on me (fickle?). More likely to quit books as I've got older though. I enjoyed Room mostly but know what you mean about the writing style, I think I just got past it.Dawnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16121342298237870670noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018801188222317493.post-32389002367746886262012-02-15T09:08:58.375-05:002012-02-15T09:08:58.375-05:00Best wishes with your socks.

Then it all happens and feels like magic ;) And then you become addicted to hand knit socks!<br /><br />I've definitely finished books just to get to the end and know the story, even if the writing doesn't work for me (The Particular Sadness of Lemon cake is a good example of this, only the story ended up being as disappointing as the writing style!)pinkundinehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04994450142485371131noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1018801188222317493.post-86742276187049307482012-02-15T06:22:28.557-05:002012-02-15T06:22:28.557-05:00I nearly always finish a book.
