James Fenimore Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans - Book 8

Perhaps it is because I've become so accustomed to reading the "easy stuff". Perhaps it is due to the fact that I was attempting to start this novel while my husband watched television in the same room. It could be slow-starting. It could also be the insanity that is the Christmas season. But the fact remains that I am having a hard time getting into this one.

I know the story of Cooper's The Last of the Mohicans because I'm a big fan of Daniel Day Lewis. And if something is a novel before it is a film, I'm much rather get the "real" thing by reading the novel.

Do not worry, faithful non-existent readers of my blog! I will not give up!! I will press on to finish this book!!

Meanwhile, I've read book 2 in the Outlander series (Dragonfly in Amber) as well as the first four books in the Sookie Stackhouse novels. (What? I said they were easy reads!) But I am committed to reading various styles and genres and such. Go, classics!
