Or a real clunker. Smile. I try not to put up with books that bore,
irritate, or otherwise don't keep me interested. I've stuck with a few
clunkers/duds, but very, very few.
At the moment I'm reading an Agatha Christie. It is read by Noel Leslie, a
narrator that I absolutely love. Only problem, I keep forgetting to set the
sleep what's it and so keep having to rewind. I like the book too, just
reading it too late at night is all.

okay, no problem, I've slogged through duds too, but i guess it's something
to read, can only remember sending a couple books back, maybe when i do a
book review, i should put the word dud in, if it's that bad, LOL, Don
