I have a problem!


I am in the process of reading four books AT THE SAME TIME! i'm thinking its perhaps because I tend to get really sad whenever i come to the end of a book, especially if it's a good one. For example, I recently finished "Candy Freak" by Steve Almond, a hilarious Charlie and the Chocolate Factory type-ish read.

Does anyone else have trouble finishing books once they've started reading em?

I'm currently working on two Malcolm Gladwell books ("The Tipping Point" and "Blink"), "The Wisdom of Crowds," and "Monkey Business," a scary look into the seedy underbelly of investment banking (justifies me not using my bschool education to sell my soul).

Hehe, that sounds more like not finishing a book b/c it's not very good...but AH, I just finished "Blink," which is a great read, btw. It's all about how our split-second judgments are often right on the money, but it also discusses how they can be tragically wrong. The book is so great b/c it uses rich examples to demonstrate each and every point.

heh... I have trouble finishing books all the time. Like I have had about a 150 pages or so left of "Zen and Art of Motorcycle Maintainence" for the last 2.5 years.... somehow I don't feel the urgency of picking up this particular book :p
