I don't mind the (unintentional) goofiness of it, but it should have been cut in half. Also didn't finish Moby Dick. It was for a college class, but once I got my essay written, it was time to toss the Frisbee around. Last book I remember not finishing was Battlefield Earth.

Though that was mostly a long time ago. I've only started reading fiction again in the past year or two. 2) No problemo.
