Potential Book Abort

I've been reading this book for book club over the last few days, trying hard to finish it before our book club meeting this evening, but of course I didn't make it. I have about a quarter to a third of the book left. When I got to book club, one of the first things they asked when I mention that I wasn't able to finish it yet, is whether I had reached "the surprise" towards the end. I could quickly determined that since I had no idea what they were talking about, I probably hadn't reached it yet. So they carefully skirted that part while talking about the book, which was kind, but I wasn't too concerned. I was well sucked into the book already and couldn't wait to finish it anyways, so I figured even if they did tell me it wouldn't stop me from wanting to read it. So then we decided to watch part of a documentary on the person whom the book is about, and Brenda kindly warned me that at the end of the portion we were going to watch, it would give away what happens at the end of the book. So, curious me, I decide to just watch anyways. Well, now I'm not so sure it was a good choice. The majority of the book is just a well written novel about two people and their relationships with each other and others, like lots of good novels. But it turns out the end has all the makings of a horror flick. Now I'm scared to read the end of the book because I know how horribly it ends, and I feel like I don't want to have to hear/read it again. But at the same time, I'm kind of glad I know now how it ends so at least I won't be quite as horrified upon finishing the book (assuming I can make myself finish it at all) as I would have been if that's how I had found out first.

2 Weeks, 2 Days, and Counting...

It's getting close! And I've got lots to do still! Time to get my butt in gear and get some stuff done instead of working all the time. I need to get a travel blog ready to go still too.
