It's annoying when you get stuck on a book. It's different when it's a book that's not doing anything for you, then it's just easy to ditch but I'm reading a 600 page biography of Jonathan Swift, the topic greatly interests me and I'm generally enjoying it, but I've been at it for over a month and am only halfway through. It's a combination of the subject matter being a bit dense with a ton of info on English politics at the time, me being a slow reader and just generally also being tired lately, so I only get through about 5-15 pages a day.
I'm itching to get onto something a bit lighter, some graphic novel or murder mystery.
