This was another Top Ten Tuesday topic, and this one was pretty hard for me to resist. There have been so many books I’ve forced myself to get through, despite how painful or annoying they were to read. In other cases, there have been books that completely reel me in, but they portray such an intense subject that I’m sometimes emotionally shattered by the end of the story, or they are written so distinctly that it takes a lot of concentration to finish them.
