      <![CDATA[<p>When and how do you decide if a book is worth finishing or not?  I'm in the middle of "<a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0156027321/surfinthenetwith" target="_blank">Life of Pi</a>" and it hasn't really engaged me, but since it was so highly recommended, I keep on reading, determined to finish it.  </p>

<p>Actually I'm not reading at all, but listening.  I bought it from <a href="http://www.dpbolvw.net/click-751004-10365053" target="_blank" > Audible</a><img src="http://www.lduhtrp.net/image-751004-10365053" width="1" height="1" border="0">, and I am listening while exercising.  Maybe it's not the book that doesn't interest me, but rather the exercising!</p>]]>

        <![CDATA[<p>If a book is written well, it desearves more than one chance.  Try to get through a few more chapters before you give up. You never know what you may learn!  <br />

        <![CDATA[<p>I thought Life of Pi was awesome, but I like mysterious and outlandish tales.  People who like straightforward, realistic stories about everyday events that don't require any suspension of reality would probably not like Pi.</p>]]>
