another itch..

1
how many times have you felt that you'v bought the wrong book?
i mean, just what DO you do when you're halfway (or worse, just started on less than the first 50 pages) of the book, and you realize the dreadful truth that you simply cannot go on with it.
compare that with some feverishly adored titles, titles where you could devour the entire series of four books in less than ten days. say... that would be close to like two and half days per book.. Go figure~!
which brings me back to the first question..
some of these are even "highly recommended bestsellers". either that, or they've been written by some bestselling authors. so not ALL of their works win your heart.. even though they are touted as bestselling.. the irony.
i guess it's more to my personal choice of lit then?
mystery? murder? family themed? or forbidden love?
how do you go about identifying which books to buy then? when even bestselling authors with bestselling titles like The Lovely Bones goes on to produce sadistic, uncomfortable, boring second titles like The Almost Moon?
sigh... books arent that cheap really here in kl... even after the occasional 30% off.. they're still considered kindof a splurge to me... (any single trip would have me ending up with at least three new ones..)
oh well... i guess it's really going to be up to me then.
as you stumble along, you'll learn to appreciate the path more right?
so now what do i do with my Coelho and Sebold?
