I always tell people that if they're reading a book just for pleasure and they don't enjoy it after a few chapters, they should just stop.
So, I'm about 100 pages away from the end of Sentimental Education by Flaubert, and I've been bored to death by the last 150. I had been reading a book per week, but this thing has dragged out for a month.
Rather than rant about book stories, I'll leave you with some recursive irony.
Take your own advice.
