People who know me (except for people in my book clubs who know better) might not believe that finishing a book is an out-of-the-ordinary experience for me.
But it is.
I have no trouble starting a book. I start books all the time. And now that I have a Kindle and can download free samples of books, I start even more books than ever before. It's not that I lose interest in what I'm reading. It's that I get distracted by the next one, and the next, and the next.
It wasn't always like this. It's possible that owning a bookstore wrecked it for me. So many books + Much desire to be knowledgeable for customers x Seemingly insatiable curiosity ÷ So little time = Loss of all semblance of discipline.
Well, maybe not all. I did finish a book today.

Very cool girlie! I have given myself to Not finish a book if it doesn't grab me or I don't really enjoy it - so it's interesting to see the other side ;) - Karen
I finish fewer books than I used to. Sometimes it's because another book grabs my attention that seems more exciting and the first one gets left behind.
Glad to know I'm in such good company.
