Unless a book is absolutely God awful, I usually see it through to the end.

I just picked up ROAD DOGS, by Elmore Leonard. He's long been one of my favorite novelists---especially in the crime "genre." It's the sequel to OUT OF SIGHT, which was published in '96 and adapted into a GREAT film in '98, starring George Clooney and Jennifer Lopez. It continues the story of gentleman bank robber Jack Foley, who gets his sentence drastically reduced on a technicality (hey, it's just a book). I've been looking forward to this one for a while, so I'll be starting it after the Met game tonight.
