of mice and men
i have had 'of mice and men' sitting next to my bed for weeks, telling myself that i should and will read it. it's short, it's a classic, and it's a book i can read and get rid of (which is ideal at this point). yet, for some reason, i never have to urge to pick it up and start reading. there is actually a stack of books next to my bed which i intend to read and discard. perhaps telling someone else about my stash of books will prompt me to actually crack the dusty things and absorb something from them. if you've read 'of mice and men' and tell me i'm missing out, i'm quite sure i will suddenly blaze through it, wondering what took me so long. and if you tell me it wasn't that great, i will may continue to glance at it occasionally, promising myself to one day look at the inside.

it's a short read, but you're not missing that much. It's a classic, so if I were in your shoes, I'd probably just get it out of the way - should only take you a couple of hours, I think (maybe a plane ride?)
definitely read it...I liked it!
Meh. I know exactly what you mean.
you're missing out
Read it! What have you got to lose? :)
