Down For The Second Time

Well, I really tried.  And I tried again.

But it seems that there are so many books still on the shelf or for whatever reason, I again ended up putting "The Last of the Mohicans' down after the first five pages.

With the next book on hand, I managed to hold on to it (looking forward to the story) until page 26 and it was just the first time.

I know that there is more to the story of the "The Last of the Mohicans."  But I just don't know why I keep on putting it down.

Sometimes, the long sentences made me grasp for air, as if reading it aloud.  Maybe the book is too deep for me.  I guess this is just one of those books that I cannot finish.

So, this is the book that I put down for a while and started and finished "In The Presence of My Enemies," by Gracia Burnham.

Alice smiled, but regarding Heyward, she blushed and hesitated.

"Indulge youself," he whispered. "Ought not the suggestion of the worthy namesake of the Psalmist to have its weight at such a moment."
