Used to be I would finish a book that I started no matter what; but my lofty ideals have become too great for my ever growing to-read list. I got to page 58 (chapter 5) and just couldn't get into this book. I could not find a connection with either of the narrators, whose own superiority they laud in each chapter is, I imagine, setting them up for a fall. Unfortunately, I won't be there to catch them. 
 I'm on to the next good read!
