Usually, when I start a book I finish it. If I don't, it's because it gets buried in a corner. In the last week there were two books I was listening to that I had to stop and return to the library. One, there wasn't any saving it for me considering the number of curse words in the opening paragraph. The other was a 20 hours audiobook that I listened to for 8 hours.
