OK, this is going to be harder than I thought. I have this huge backlog of books to read and I wanted to start this goal off right with a real winner. Big mistake. I started the week with The Origin of Species by Charles Darwin, and I made it to Tuesday when I knew I wasn't going to finish it by Saturday. I was about 60 pages in when Darwin decides to detail some birds he raised and how their physical appearance chaged between generations. Ten pages of this and I knew it wasn't going to be a quick read. I kept trying to come back to it, but the book is not put in the to-finish pile.
I then tried to read Walden by Henry David Thoreau, which was better, but still not an easy read. I found the book more interesting, though now I was halfway through the week and I just ran out of time to finish the book. This one, too, will be placed in the to-finish pile. I'm going to start the next week with a more lively book and try and take baby steps into finishing a book each week.
