Hidden interest, crouching boredom

I started last Friday, on the train during my morning commute. I gave up this afternoon, during the evening commute, on page 217.

I like long books; it's not the case that I have abandoned "long-form reading," which is the topic of an interesting article by Linton Weeks.

Whatever the case, I couldn't take one more sentence of that long, boring Girl with the Dragon Tattoo. If a book hasn't grabbed you by page 217, it ain't gonna happen.
