When I first started this a year ago I thought it was a good book of prose to read every now and then and not in a few sittings. Now that it’s been a year and a half I still believe so. After picking it up as an e-book I felt refreshed and able to turn the pages, but towards the 80% completion I was feeling the drag I felt. It felt like a disrespect to the book, but it’s a book that shows the flaw of book borrowing over owning and not many books do that for me.
