not even fun to dislike her
This book I'm reading right now... I don't mind when a book is long if it doesn't feel long. And I don't mind if a character isn't likable as long as it's fun to dislike him/her. At the moment, I'm too stubborn to put the book down (300+ pages into a 600+ page book) but I can't wait until it's over. What do YOU do with a book/movie/tv series like that? (Nope, not telling you what book it is so don't ask.)
Question: I'm aware word verification is appearing before the comments. I have it disabled. It appears that if you leave the field blank, you can still enter a comment. I tried to figure it out when it first started but had no luck. I'll try again when I have some time.

Want to play along? All that's necessary to participate is to describe your life (or something) in a phrase using just six words. For more information, try clicking here. Feel free to explain or not explain. Add an image, a video, a song, nothing. I love seeing what everyone does with their entries.
Each week (probably on Sunday or Monday), I use random.org to select a bunch of entries to visit. Or I visit everyone. Or even numbered entries. Or odd numbered entries. Or multiples of three. Depends on what's going on that week. In addition, please visit the person ahead of you on the list (or visit everyone if you like!). That way everyone receives at least one visit!
If you play along in your blog, please add a link to the Mr. Linky. I appreciate a link back (shiny code below if you like!). Otherwise, you're welcome to leave your six words in this post as a comment.Please be sure to link either to your main page or (preferably) directly to the 6WS post. Links to blogs that do not contain a 6WS entry will be removed (sorry, just the button in the sidebar doesn't count as participating).

You're obviously more stubborn than I. I would end up picking up something else to read and the one I'm struggling with would gradually move further and further down the pile of books to read that eventually I'd forget about it!
Thank you for hosting this wonderful blog hop.
I used to struggle on with a book when I either didn't enjoy the story, or didn't like the main character, but now I just leave it and move one to the next book in the pile! I have decided that life is too short. It's the same with TV series, if the first couple of episodes don't get my attention then I stop.
I no longer plow doggedly through books that don't hold my attention.
I tend to labor on as well. Though the overdue fines may temper that folly in the future.
I read recently a best seller that I was enjoying til the last 100 pages of the 600+ pages.
The characters were so awful with no redeeming qualities that I heaved the book back into the library's book drop without finishing it. Out of curiosity I read another book by the same author and I think she enjoys writing about horrible people. Will never read another book by this person.
Pure, unadulterated hatred is always worthwhile.
