(no subject)
Jun. 15th, 2009 01:57 pmI'm reading a book right now. I don't know whether I'll make it through.
I want to like it. It's about a subject I find really interesting. However, I'm feeling something between apathy and downright antipathy towards all the characters so far. They're dreary and miserable and boring.
I rarely ever find the characters so uninteresting and unlikable that I don't feel I can continue with the book. This may even be a first. Even when I don't particularly like a character, there's usually at least one character in the book who is interesting and relate-able enough to be worthwhile.
I'm holding out hope that the beginning is supposed to be a contrast, and something will happen later in the book to liven things up a little. But I'm not sure how much tolerance it's getting.
