I have also seriously thought of pulling the plug on the cable all together, but we watch a lot of sports. It's the TV's only saving attribute. I regularly shut it off in the middle of programs. Just too stupid to deal with... There's a book out there that's a great read about this by Neil Postman, titled "Amusing Ourselves to Death."

I have also stopped reading multiple books half way through because they sucked my will to live.... Most Stephen King books come to mind.... 30 chapters of bla bla bla for two chapters of actual plot at the end. Read some Diana Gabledon (dear god, don't ask me what I was thinking...) books that I couldn't finish either. Why do some women writers want to quantify every sub-second of their character's existance with the emotion of 'love'? The plot was excellent, characters were excellent, great story potential, good writing style... Just WAY too much emotional baggage in it for me to stomach. I read a lot though, so I'm always willing to chuck kindling in the pile to get to a good one.
