Oh, too bad you weren't able to get into Wolf Hall. But yeah, seeing as it took you almost six months to cover only 25%…haha. I read it back in 2010 and enjoyed it quite a bit. Haven't got around to the second one yet (Bring Up The Bodies), but it's on my To Be Read list. Yes, it took me a while to get used to the author's style: Who the heck is "he"?

In the past, for unknown reasons, I'd force myself to finish a book no matter how boring I found it. Now, if the first 150 pages don't catch my interest, I move on to the next book. Reading should be fun.
