How did any of you read this book?

Last year I made an effort to read this book, but it was so boring. I could only get up to page 17, and boredom stop me. Nothing interesting happened. It was just about an idiot adventerous wierdo who brings migits to a little short fat man's house. It goes on and on about how the fat migit hated adventure. I couldn't take it anymore, and I stopped. How did you people read it and actually enjoy it?
