I called my book club's pick boring at 8pm, then finished all 412 pages by Thursday
We met at Dana's place in Reno to argue about the ending and I walked in ready to quit the group, but hearing Maria defend the slow middle section as on purpose made me reread it and change my mind, so now I want to know if anyone else has flipped on a book after hearing another member's take.
Man, my buddy Steve had the exact same thing happen with some Civil War book he hated for two weeks straight. Then this guy in his group pointed out the boring parts were written that way on purpose to show how stuck everyone felt, and Steve went back and read the whole thing again. He still talks about that book like it changed his life.
