" i got about 25 pages in and had to give up. i just want to note that i've probably quit reading all of three books in my entire life; i always try to work through it, convinced there must be something worth reading in there. this novel was so aimless and tedious. i appreciate fine detail in writing, especially scenic details, but when the book is more about the sand in the road and less about the man standing in the road, i'm not sure what's left to read.
