    His look kinda sums up how I feel about the book so far, lol.

    It goes real slow

    It's not just that; it's that his "evil" is too cliche (and I'm an avid reader of his books) and bombastic. Main character is entertaining as are some of the secondaries, but man.. the "bad guy" in this book and his wanktastic son are driving me crazy.

    Lemme just kill this chick, oh you want me to be a cop? Kk

    See? You get it. You, you I like.

    Seriously, not sure that I'll make it through this book.. and I never quit a book. I even tortured myself by reading the entire Twilight series back when that was still a thing. Ugh.

    Me too! How much of my life have I committed to terrible books because I can't stop? More than I care to calculate.

    The completionist in me won't let me stop. I shall read it to its terrible (I'm sure) end.

    I can't quit! Even worse? My husband already told me the ending. Even he got so annoyed with the two antagonists and King's diatribe against the Bush/Cheney administration that he skim/skipped to the end, lol.

    Yet I still persist. :D

    I do the same thing. I intentionally show up about 15 minutes early so I can have my reading time.

    I mostly do it so I don't have to wait in a moving car line for 15 extra minutes. Getting there early has a benefit, lol.

    Here's my library. No shame. I used to collect books, then I moved a few times.

    I probably still have a thousand books or so, but after moving so many time in the 5 years, I have converted a fair number of them to kindle format. All my new books are for my kindle. Greatest invention, I carry all my books with me and can even use a different device if I don't happen to have my kindle with me.

    Yep, this is the direction I've been going as well. I still prefer the printed copies for reading, something about holding an actual book in the hands. But, the convenience of electronic format is unbeatable. Especially when one is reducing the amount of stuff they own.

    Rather than a Kindle device, I use the Kindle app on my phone or tablet.

    I can't imagine using any device, I love print so much. The weight, feel, smell... All of it adds to my experience.

    Do you access MFP from this magic papyrus thing as well?

    I still read mostly books (probably 95% books, 5% e-read). I figure that as I get old and decrepit I can use the kindle and make the type bigger as I require.

    When accessing MFP I prop my phone up in a book that has been stored with sweaty gym socks.
