Atonement (by Ian McEwan) is taking me FOREVER to read. It's exceptionally well-written, but as slow as molasses. I think maybe it's not a book that I'm currently in the right mood for, but "I've started, so I'll finish". I'm enjoying it when I do pick it up, but it's mostly just sitting next to me, glaring accusingly (and I'm glaring back at it).

Just fifty pages left to read in my struggle through Atonement. I'm The Little Engine That Could. I think I can, I know I can! I'm not hating it, I'm liking it, but o mamma mia, it's a treacly substance that's taxing me sorely. #reading #books #bookstodon #AmReading

@wordybirdy@bookstodon.com I believe that I completed it, back when I was a more determined reader but I only really remember the title at this point.

@wordybirdy@bookstodon.com You've summed up this author. He's a wonderful writer but not an engaging storyteller.
