Book #3: The Poisonwood Bible

Yesterday we went to the library and I picked up one of the few novels that I have on my 2011 reading list...The Poisonwood Bible by Barbara Kingsolver. I've read one or two other books by her and liked them so I expected to like this one too, but I just didn't.

I'm not exactly sure why. When I got to page 30 and still just wasn't feeling sucked in yet I decided to give up. I've decided that life is too short and my reading list is too long to force myself to keep reading a book that I'm not enjoying. Plus this particular book is over 500 pages long so it would have been a lot of hours of forced reading to finish it. Maybe another time I will pick it up again and give it a second chance.
