Why Do I Do This to Myself?

Vanity Fair and I aren't getting along right now. I was able to get through about 100 pages, but then I realized I was very bored. I think this is a book I will need to tackle in sections. I'll read a few pages every now and then. Maybe I'll try to read fifty pages or so at a time. I may be able to tackle Jane Austen in a similar way one day. I admit I had high hopes for Vanity Fair. In the beginning I was encouraged and found it very easy to read. While it hasn't gotten any more difficult to read, it's not in a very entertaining place right now. I have many, many more books sitting here that I would much rather tackle right now. So, I'm moving on for the time being. I'll come back to Vanity Fair eventually. Maybe I'll read a little more when I've finished my next book. Now I'm tackling something a bit more interesting to me. The Hound of the Baskervilles by Sir Arthur Conan Doyle. Yes, I think it's about time I put a little Sherlock Holmes into the mix. I'm very much looking forward to it!
