I don't usually hit a point in a book and just decide I'm
not finishing it, but I did tonight. Worse yet, it's a book for the book group meeting Thursday. What finally drove me over the edge was having the main character die a third of the way through the book. I see now that this plot twist is hinted at in reviews, but I'm not sure if I'd have picked up on it had I read them before starting the book.

I've been slowly working my way through Mark Twain's
Life on the Mississippi via
dailylit. In today's chunk I came across the following quote I just needed to share:
"We had dinner on a ground-veranda over the water--the chief dish the renowned fish called the pompano, delicious as the less criminal forms of sin."
I want a meal like that.
