Just took the liberty of checking out the reviews on goodreads.com
The idea of the book certainly holds my interest but I don't think that a book this long could be my next read or even a near future read. Once I start reading I have habit of getting into the book until I finish it. It is one of my many weaknesses - the fact that I would forgo my important work just to finish a book. That is why I have to be really careful what I start because there would be no resting until I finish it (that is if I read several pages of t first and they hold my interest)
I have marked the book review page as 'favorites' for future reference. Thanks for sharing this man
I agree. This book has garnered a reputation that people pick up because they want to appear as intelligent or sophisticated but then never finish. It is not a book I take lightly. But long books can be rewarding.
That is certainly true. Some of the longest works that I have read are theological texts and finishing them gave me was an unbelievable amount of satisfaction.
Leaving a book in the middle just feels a little........................ like one more thing that you didn't finish. Although I can't preach that to vehemently since I have left my share of books unread...........just not recently.
I gotcha on the urge to complete books.
That is interesting if you have read long theological texts then you definitely must read 12 Rules for Life - it discusses several Bible passages in detail.
