It's definitely hard to invest as much time in a book as long as the Goldfinch as you do and still come out going 'that was rubbish'. I can maybe see a certain perverse pleasure from doing it but really there's a limit to these things. Right??
was looking forward to GF for years. once i realised i really liked it initially, got through it reasonably quick, for me. generally been trying to keep reads to max 350 pages these days. finished John Kelly's From Out Of The City (which i thought was brilliant) but have The Luminaries sitting on the shelf since christmas. 800 pager. worth investing my time into? have plenty of it at the moment.
