I can read, and I like to...I swear!

I seriously cannot finish a book lately. I read 150-someodd pages, get bored, and quit. I quit. Isn't that illegal somewhere?!?!

I tried to finish Kitchen Confidential by Anthony Bourdain, and admitted defeat. Loved the first two sections. He goes into detail about what knives/equipment/ingredients to get your hands on, He expertly gives enough background info on the "culinary underbelly" to make readers aware of what goes on in restaurants, but not so much that no one will dine in public ever again. Then, I got to the third section...and bleh. It sorta fell apart, I got bored, and I ditched it, feeling a little slimy all the while...

I attempted a book that had a promising story line and a fun title, Lulu Meets God and Doubts Him by XYZ, and threw up the white flag on that one too. I waited and read and read and waited for things to start happening in this book, to no avail. When I turned page 200 and still couldn't tell you the story line, I ran.

Real Simple magazine on the other hand, is devoured the minute it hits my mailbox. Seriously.

I've moved on to an author that I've read before, so my fingers are crossed that she can bring me back to the dark side of books...
