I'm trying to focus and finsih Red Mars, but it's slow going. First I thought I was having trouble because they were in transit, and things would pick up when they landed. Then I thought things were slow because terraforming takes a long time. I briefly thought maybe I just don't like books about Mars, but I loved the Martian Chronicles, so that's not it. Then I thought things were slow because the characters were uninteresting. Then I thought things were slow because nothing interesting actually happens.
I'm at 45% and dangerously close to shelving in "So Bad I Couldn't Finish," except that I usually abandon a book as bad in the first 10%, so it doesn't seem right not to soldier on.
