Is the slow pace intentional? Nearly at the halfway point and nothing seems to be happening 🥱

Taking me a while to get through this book even though it’s a relatively short one. I sometimes forget that translated literature has the tendency to be difficult to read (for me) because of how simply written they become in English. I wish I had the ability to read all books in their native languages 🥲 for the moment, I’m taking my time with this and reading it in snippets.

Only just started this book and finished chapter 1, getting into chapter 2, and I have to make a post to say that it’s been a while since I’ve read writing that has hooked me in this way. 🫨 I very much prefer reading short chapters and tbh, I’m guilty of the feeling of dread that creeps up when I see an impending long chapter, but surprisingly, I’m fine with it for this book because the writing is so well done. I’m intrigued with the plot so far and can’t wait to see where this goes!!

Not a debate but just curious to see how other readers approach reading. I generally read contemporary lit fic and have tried my hand at reading classics. I have really struggled to finish these books sometimes. I understand that it takes a while to get into them but I am always like, there are SO many other books I could be reading instead of this so I prefer to DNF. But people who love classics tell me I am missing out on a lot in life if I just let my mood guide my reading lol. I still think life is too short to read books you dont enjoy soo✨️😂 What's your take? Do you DNF occasionally? Rarely? Never? ("I WILL NOT LET THIS BOOK WIN") how do you make your decision? Are classics worth the effort and time? Tell me erryythinggg
