On the other hand, my friends are always telling me that there are so many good books out there that I should stop wasting time on the bad ones.<BR/><BR/>Of course so of the 'having to finish' is about classics such as <I>The Catcher in the Rye</I> which I didn't like, but as a writer I felt I had to finish.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
