I do consider it quite an accomplishment to quit a book. A small victory to some; a large one for me. 🙂

Yes, I am loving Transforming Grace so far! And yes, I love anything by Jerry Bridges too. Haven’t read a bad one yet from him. He always makes me think more lovingly and be more thankful for grace, regardless of the topic of the book.

Maybe you’ll like Tilt-A-Whirl better than I did. I’d heard such good things too so I had high expectations. Just don’t rush when you do read it; it’s even crazier if you try to read it too fast. ha.

Well, there’s something to be said for reading fewer books more slowly. Sometimes I whiz through a book too quickly and it doesn’t have time to simmer. So your pace may be just right.

Very very short is sounding good to me right now. 🙂 Maybe I should check out Anthem myself.

I’m sure I’m not prepared for all of “Nothing to Envy” either…it’s already been eye-opening and I’m barely into it. Sad.

Love that you have a “gave up” list on Goodreads. I should do the same. And hopefully I’d let it grow–I’ve wasted too much time thinking “it’ll get better, it’ll get better” versus just giving up on a book. ha.

Cliff’s Notes would definitely be quicker for Atlas Shrugged. I was actually going back to read Spark Notes after each chapter just so I’d keep the characters straight. For a book that long, I figured it mattered. But alas, not now. ha. I’ll never know what I missed.

Same thing happens to me all the time when I look at somebody else’s reading list. Always makes mine grow longer. You wouldn’t even want to see it. 🙂 You can trust me on that.
