You guys ever read a book and you are gung ho as fuck and then about 2/3 of the way through it turns into an absolute slog to the end? I am reading The Technological Society and it has done this. I don't have much left but man does it feel like it is taking forever.

"Gung ho" means perfect harmony.

The repetition of Psalms broke me when I was reading The Bible. It was a bear to restart and I lost my momentum - and never got further than finishing Isaiah. If I had it to redo then I would have skipped Psalms and just gone back to it.
