but OMG I hate it! I'm the type who can't not finish ...
I know it's a classic and all, but OMG I hate it! I'm the type who can't not finish a book or movie, no matter how awful it is. I just have to finish it. But this book... it took me a good 2 years to get through it, simply because I couldn't stand it. I would read a chapter and then set it aside for months at a time. Finally, when we had some bad weather and I had nothing else to do, I sat and read the last third or so in one day, just to get it over with. And oh what sweet relief when I did finish it! And then it got put in the box of stuff to donate.
