I'm reading my first book for the project...

but I'm not making a lot of progresses. It's "The God of small things". At first I liked her style and I thought I was going to love it. But for some reason now I'm stuck. Maybe I'm too distracted, maybe it wasn't the right time. But I feel that her constant literariness makes the reading heavy and less fluent. I'm trying to get into the story but I'm almost half way through it and it feels like I haven't started yet. Should I keep going? I will anyway, I want to be able to say that I've read it even if I will end end not liking it, but I was wondering if somebody had the same feeling, or if somebody loved it, they could maybe tell me why so I might me more pushed to finish it!

Hello! Valentina's Introduction

Hi everybody, just a little note to say that I just joined this project.I really like the idea that there's no time limit, and that it's definitely shorter than the Pulizter list. I must say though that I haven't read ANY so far. So I have a long way to go. I only have two books in my TBR mountain, which are The Sea by John Banville and Paddy Clarke Ah ah ah! by Roddy Doyle so I think I'll start with those ones, don't know when though. I can't wait to be able to say, proudly, I've read EVERY Booker prize!:)
Any idea who's going to win this year?
