Blasphemy but you can always Google if you just wanna know one thing but can't finish. I did to the WoT and don't regret it.

I could have but for the other two reasons I wrote about. Namely, I wasn't mature enough to DNF, and the Fae stories are really good.

I suppose in the end it did one better by causing me to grow as a person. Sure, books have taught me a bunch of stuff but not many I can describe as being "the" reason I "grew".

Today I wouldn't have read enough of JS&MrN to even hear about Stephen, let alone grow to care about him.

I'm sure I'm missing out on a great number of good books, great books even, possibly even formative books, by how willing I am to DNF. But, there's so many good books out there that my calendar always seems to be full anyway.
