About Books

So, I've been trying to read the Stone Angel for some time now, and I'm just not getting in to it. All I really want are some more Discworld novels. Apparently, now that I no longer have to read "acclaimed" books, I no longer want to read anything even a little bit dry, even when I think that there might be a point to it.

Am I alone? Does anyone else have this problem? Is the Stone Angel worth reading (because if it's not, then I won't feel bad about giving up)? Am I too young to understand the ramblings of the aged heroine?

I will be surprised if any of you have ever read this book, and/or actually respond to any of these questions.
