when do you give up?

At what point do you give up on a book? I started Moral Disorder and enjoyed it. Then life intruded and I read for solutions and suggestions in Raising your spirited child. But during a quiet time, I realized that some of my library books were over due. I picked up The Dressmaker by Oberbeck to see whether or not I should read it. The first few pages were so lovely -- almost pastoral -- and the next thing I knew, I was a committed reader. I read the novel in a few days. In fact, I stayed up late last night just so that I could finish it.

There were so many appealing attributes to the book.

• It's an easy read
• It's set in France
• There is love story
• There are clothes: lots and lots of glorious outfits with detailed descriptions to let your imagination run wild
• It depicts the creative process and life in a design house
• It details the meteoric rise of a simple tailor to couturier
• It affirms family while illustrates different family relationships

So, do I give up on Moral Disorder and return to Raising your spirited child, or do make a commitment and finish Atwood's latest novel... I'll let you know.
