So maybe there were too many confusing/changing/Russian names. Maybe it was because I was on page 70 and there was still no sign of Anna. Maybe I'm lazy. Maybe I don't know how to read good.
Today, it hit me: the book itself, the physical object, is awkward. I have this edition:
It's not that it's too long and therefore fat. I've read and adored plenty of longer(fatter) books. It's that when I'm lying in my bed, trying to snuggle up with it, it's simply not snuggling back. There's just something about its shape. It feels like trying to cozy up to a brick, a floppy and awkward brick. Today was the first time that Kindle thing seemed like a good idea. It could cuddle a kindle. This, no.
Looks like the Kindle is still a grotesque 359 bucks. Maybe when they sell it at the dollar store, I'll get one.
For now, tell me. Is Anna really really worth sticking with? Will she change my life, if I only let her?

I liked it and read it in 24 hours, but then, I was in a youth hostel in Costa Rica at the time and there was NOTHING else to do. So I don't know?
I enjoyed it as well. Could you check out a more "cosy" volume from your school library?
