I agree, they really hit the nail on the head with this adaption.

I'm a ditcher and no apologies! Some I ditched are:
The Life of Pi - I tried and tried but could not get into it
Tuesdays with Morrie - actually I didn't but wish I had!
The God of Small Things - another I wish I hadn't persisted with. That line "a sophie-shaped hole in the universe" just bugged me!Posted 2 years ago # -
Fudge, I loved Shadow of the Wind. I bought it for my friend for her 30th this weekend as it was one of my favourite reads.

Hi there - I'm currently reading Midnight's children by Salmen Rushdie...I'm struggling. On about page 190 of 700 and I can't see myself getting to the end, though I really want to. I'm a Finisher, not a ditcher, and hate to leave a book once I've started. If anyone has read this book I'd love to know what they thought - and if they think it is worth preserving with?

Just to add that I did finish 'Midnight's Children' by Salman Rushdie, eventually, and am glad that i did

It's good when a book rewards you in the end. I've struggled through some books in the past and at the end just felt relief!

I'll add a third category... I'm a 'Pauser'. I have a pile of books beside my bed that are half read, and not finished for some reason, usually because I became distracted by another book (usually the one above it in the pile). I refuse to admit that I won't be going back to them, so they sit half-read, with a bookmark patiently waiting for my return.

I like Col's category 'Pauser' as I sometimes fall into that category! But what would you call it if you had a book in a pile for 5 years and having finally read it realized it was a true gem and you never guessed.The book in question is Gerard Donovan's Schopenhauer's telescope.This is a very unusual read.There are really only 2 characters -one digging a hole and the other watching him.Let that not put you off.... The story uses many clever techniques including interview,debate,role play between the teacher and a baker.You suspect the ending may not be a happy one but there's a sweet little love story towards the end which brings some relief to a story taking place in freezing and tough conditions.Many topics are aired including Philosophy ,Religion and History.Nature and Nurture comes to mind too.There is a huge sense of place though no place is actually named.Having read Julius Winsome by the same author and having loved the language in that I wonder what kept me so long getting around to reading this treasure!{though his short stories didn't really grab me at all....}
