This Just in! Extra! Extra!

I have made a decision to stop reading She's Come Undone by Wally Lamb. I admire Wally Lamb's amazing writing skills but this book is a little too raw and in some cases irritating to read. I think that the storyline is a good idea, but I'm up to this part where something that I find to be disturbing takes place and because of my morals and convictions I'm just stopping now. I know that I still need to finish at least one book and I haven't done that because She's Come Undone is like 500 pages long and I'm reading the minimum 100 pages a week because I have lots of reading for other classes, so obviously it will take me longer. But now that I'm abandoning this book, I have to start a new one. I was thinking of Atonement by Ian McEwan because I have that book currently or Their Eyes Were Watching God by Zora Neale Hurston, because I own that book. I don't know yet.

My schedule is opening up now that science fair projects are done and I'm a fast reader so I'll be able to finish my books so much faster. The only problem is that I am a very picky reader. I lose interest in a book so quickly it's not even funny. A book has to be super addictive if you want me to continue to read it. So, I'm going to reasearch some more titles and then blog later about what I decided on.
