[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If I can’t get into a book, I often wonder if I should stick it out or abandon ship. I trust DCUM more than Goodreads or Amazon. Let’s post our partially finished books end courage each other to finish them (or not). My current unfinished reads are: Creation Lake, Rachel Kushner (and I’ve loved all her books) Poisonwood Bible, Barbara Kingsolver Stoner, John Williams [/quote] Poisonwood Bible was worth it. I kind of enjoy her other books but they're a bit to fey for me. Apparently it is not true there are no bees to pollinate western-style crops in Africa, which I recall being presented as a fact (the missionary dad is going to show the locals how to grow vegetable as if he was in Iowa) I enjoyed the bit about how the missionary dad freaks out the mothers because he wants to take the children to the river to be baptized, when they see a guy who intends to feed their offspring to the crocodiles.
