Because I'm reading a book and I don't think I like it.

These are the sort of things that bring me to a screeching halt on a Saturday night. I'm reading a book and I don't think I really like it. I don't know if it is the translation, the subject, the style or just me. I hate to stop reading something once I've started. I've only quite a handful of books. So I'm conflicted on whether I devote more time to trying to like it, or if I give up and find something else to read that I'll enjoy more. So the only good thing to do was to make a poll.

Wikipedia has become the Cliff's Notes of the future. Sometimes I'll think "you know, I ought to read [x]" and instead of doing that I'll just read the Wikipedia article about it. Because I am a lazy-ass!

I did that with Kerouac's "On The Road." I couldn't get into it at the time.
