I need an opinion.

So, as you may know, I have been reading Pride and Prejudice. As you may also know, I've been reading it for about 4 weeks, and am only on page 147. Which is really bad. I read Great Expectations faster!
I have been considering for the past two days just putting the book on hold, and coming back to read it some other time. I'm not enjoying it a whole lot, I mean, I think I like the writing, I just am bored and tired with the storyline. Which really sucks, because I was so looking forward to reading it! But I believe that it is this book that has been putting me off reading. Seriously. I've had trouble just picking up a book, and it started shortly after I began reading Pride and Prejudice.
I'm also considering just sucking it up and finishing the book. I absolutely hate the idea of not finishing it, or any book! I will (and already do) feel defeated. But I can always come back to it later, right? And I am trying to read 100 books, or more, this year, so if I only read say, two books this month, that will really set me back!

So, I feel the need for some help. Do you guys think I should put the book on hold and come back to it later on, or should I just suck it up and finish it?

What are you currently reading?


My main book that I'm reading is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. It's not bad, but I'm not enjoying it near as much as Great Expectations. It's just a little boring to me...





What did you recently finish reading?


I recently finished Romeo and Juliet by William Shakespeare. I read this for my English
class, but I didn't like it much. It seemed just really silly to me.





What do you think you'll read next?

I will most likely be reading Anna Karenina by Leo Tolstoy next. I've been looking forward to finally reading it, and it's one of March's books for my book club, Classics Book Club.

Teaser Tuesdays (March 9)

Teaser Tuesdays is a weekly bookish meme, hosted by MizB of Should Be Reading. Anyone can play along! Just do the following:

• Grab your current read
• Open to a random page
• Share two (2) “teaser” sentences from somewhere on that page
• BE CAREFUL NOT TO INCLUDE SPOILERS! (make sure that what you share doesn’t give too much away! You don’t want to ruin the book for others!)
• Share the title & author, too, so that other TT participants can add the book to their TBR Lists if they like your teasers!

My teaser:

"Mr Darcy was eyeing him with unrestrained wonder, and when at last Mr Collins allowed him time to speak, replied with an air of distant civility. Mr Collins, however, was not discouraged from speaking again, and Mr Darcy's contempt seemed abundantly increasing with the length of his second speech, and at the end of it he only made him a slight bow, and moved another way."
