    Can't seem to get through Poisonwood Bible – I find myself skimming through, mixing up the sisters and not caring. I think perhaps it's best to put it down and come back to it another time.
    Any suggestions on books I can get to next to pull myself out of this slump?

    Books I've read recently and liked: Remains of the Day, Piranesi, Pachinko, Convenience Store Woman, Seven Husbands of Evelyn Hugo, I Who Have Never Known Men
    Books I've read recently and didn't enjoy: Of Mice and Men, The Little Prince, Wedding People (Alison Espach), Funny Story (Emily Henry), Nothing to See Here (Kevin Wilson), What Alice Forgot (Liane Moriarty)

    Thank you!!

      I also couldn’t get into PB. And didn’t care for the characters and sort of wanted them to fail which I don’t think was the intent of the writer. Wasn’t for me.

      But seeing your other books, I didn’t like Pachinko but love of Mice and Men so no idea what to suggest right off the bat!

      You seem to like character driven stories – have you tried Middlesex by Jeffery Eugenides?
