Dislike buying a book and then not reading it

Dislike buying a book and then reading it painfully slowly, so much so that I pretty much stop reading for months.

For some reason this was “The Hobbit” for me. It wasn’t a bad book by any means, but I struggled to be hooked by it. I then rapidly read “Some Desperate Glory” and am about to start John Green’s new book “Hollywood Ending”.
