But I don't wanna.

-Erin
I joined a book club to a) have something fun to do with two of my dear friends and more importantly (sorry Anna and Lisa) b) commit to the pastime that I feared was slipping away as my life got busier. So far this book club has been a success on both accounts. I am committed to reading at least 12 books a year WHICH is a huge improvement for me. No judgments please. We all know Anna and her goal of 52 makes her Superwoman. All I have to say about that is I KNOW HER. So there. But back to the reason for this post...
I have yet to write a review of Before Green Gables. The issue at hand, I haven't finished it and I don't like it. Plus I've already started this month's pick, The Kite Runner. My dilemma - should I finish it like a good book club member and keep my 12 books a year in book club status strong? Or should I say to heck with it, all the author wanted was to make a buck off of one of the most beloved characters of all time and never pick it up again?
I want to say to heck with it. But something keeps pulling at me like, I don't know, my conscience or something, to finish it. If not liking it were a valid excuse I wouldn't have finished plenty of books in book club. That's not the point though. The point is to broaden my horizons and read. So...I'm taking a poll. Please tell me what you think.
To finish or not?

You've finished lots of books for book club. If this one is so bad that you are considering not finishing, I say, to heck with it. As long as you aren't making a habit of skipping ones you don't like, I think it's completely fine to skip one you truly can't stand.
I like the way you think Charity :)
