How do you generate enthusiasm or motivation for completing
a non-fiction book you started 3 months ago ?

I saw the author on one of CSPAN's book fairs and was very excited by her descriptions
of the research and interviews she did during the writing.
So I jumped on Amazon and ordered it that same day.

A third of the way through over several days of fitful starts and stops,
I realized I was utterly bored, and it became my "coffee table book".

Now dusty and forlorn, it's a matter of "Read it or Trash it".
