Wise words but I think I need to power through. Some other commenters have pointed out that by reading the book multiple times, they have gotten something different out of it every time, so maybe this isn't my time but at least I know what expect if I ever decide to re-read the book.

This post is motivating me to finish the book.

I've never read anything by Achebe before so a few days ago I decided to pick up Things Fall Apart. I've been struggling with the novel for days now because it just does not interest me that much. The themes and characters are brilliant, but his writing style bothers me for some reason and I feel like the story is dragging. I don't understand why I feel this way, but I guess I have to give the novel another chance and finish it.
