Can't believe I'm doing this

I have a confession to make. I hate Madame Bovary.

I've been trying to broaden my literary horizons. I've read lots of great, good, and ok books. I've been reading Madame Bovary for a while now. And I'm doing something I REALLY don't like to do. I'm giving up on it. I've read about 100 pages and I just can't force myself through anymore.

Kevin tells me that it's fine, I don't have to finish it, but he doesn't understand! I don't "not finish" books! Even books that aren't good, I finish. But unfortunately, I can't choke down one more word of Madame Bovary. It's boring as all hell.

I'm such a rebel.

I remember having to read certain books (great literature?) back in school that were torture to finish. But,I made myself a promise back then that once I graduated, NO ONE could EVER force me to read anything that I didn't want to again. I've struggled through some non fiction through the years that I thought would be good for me, but as for boring novels.... pooh! I'll close it up after 50 or so pages without one ioda of remorse! lol
