None. I don't believe in it. Craig Send a noteboard - 29/07/2010 06:53:27 AM
If I don't know if I'm going to like a book - or at least have a very good basis for believing so, like a favorite author's new work - I'll get it from the library. It's exceedingly rare even then that I don't finish a book.

Other than that, the only way this would ever happen is if I get several new books simultaneously, and I simply haven't started them all yet.
I am made of poison.

How many unfinished books do you have laying around? Dark Knight - 28/07/2010 03:09:29 AM 907 Views
oh my gosh. I just realized I don't have any. nossy - 28/07/2010 03:12:23 AM 643 Views
Quick! Buy one and leave it on your shelf! *NM* Dark Knight - 28/07/2010 03:21:32 AM 425 Views

Oh come on. L'Etranger is short, and interesting. Legolas - 28/07/2010 10:27:33 AM 645 Views
It's not as short when you read it in a foreign language . *NM* Tim - 28/07/2010 12:18:47 PM 316 Views
True, but it's not too hard French either, as I recall. *NM* Legolas - 28/07/2010 01:10:21 PM 388 Views
Ça, c'est vrai. Mais c'est bien plus difficile que la langue maternelle du lecteur. *NM* Tim - 28/07/2010 03:10:50 PM 417 Views
Vraiment, et j'étudiais ce langue pour juste deux ans. Ghavrel - 28/07/2010 07:34:00 PM 616 Views
I still think it's ridiculous to claim you're bad at languages. Legolas - 28/07/2010 07:50:06 PM 730 Views
Bull-headed perserverance isn't the same as skill. Ghavrel - 28/07/2010 09:27:06 PM 612 Views
Eh. Easily learning vocabulary isn't the same as skill, either. Legolas - 28/07/2010 09:46:02 PM 1022 Views
