I liked the humor. It surprised me. Maybe I was just in the mood for something fluffy.<br /><br />The other was actually an un-read re-read of a book called Poser. I read it last year and then saw a copy of it, intending to give it to a friend in my yoga class. Instead, I started browsing through it and ended up reading it to the end. Very weird.

With all the books I have that need to be read, there is a sense of relief sometimes to make the conscious decision to not read something rather than to keep putting it off. Library books get unread sometimes when I have to return them before I get around to them. But the books I've bought, I generally fool myself that I will get to them one of these days.Susan@ Reading Worldhttp://susancoventry.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-42476661466559220062013-12-08T12:21:04.042-06:002013-12-08T12:21:04.042-06:00Great idea!

I generally start books and then abandon at about page 50 or so if I can't get into them.<br /><br />I do take out many books from the library that I don't read because of time limits. I like doing that though because I can check out a book before I buy it.Heidi’sbookshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15647096496574605262noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-54638221794845657402013-12-08T12:02:00.979-06:002013-12-08T12:02:00.979-06:00I don't know about un-read...exactly.

I do pick up books at the library and then never get to them, because I realize I have better books waiting for me on my own shelves, either real or virtual. This past week, the book was The Fault In Our Stars, which like you I didn't expect to like as much as I did. In fact, it's probably the best book I've read this year.Bryan G.

Instead of keeping piles of books that you thought were going to hit a chord with you, but you keep putting off reading, unreading would give you the freedom of not feeling guilty about not reading them. One book I had in one of those piles that I finally did give a chance turned out to be one of my favorite reads this year- The Last First Day.<br /><br />Thanks Deb for a great post!Suzanne Yesterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00340451897624838384noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7497062501059248350.post-81657632423083244542013-12-08T11:12:13.723-06:002013-12-08T11:12:13.723-06:00I have started to read and then stopped, I guess t...I have started to read and then stopped, I guess that is un-reading, right?<br /><br />I liked THE BOOK OF SOMEDAY.
