<human>: Can you condense the text into a few key points?

So I was at this dinner party with my parents and their friends, and, having nothing better to do as one of the few minors there, I continued reading the Hobbit. It was maybe a few chapters later that an old lady approached me, she was our hostess' mother. She asked what book I was reading, and we started talking. She seemed really into books. She asked if I knew Dick Francis, I said no, and she then proceeded to take a book off of a nearby shelf. She gave me 'Risk', by Dick Francis, to borrow. Because I'll see them again in a few days, she says that I can keep it till then to finish. Then she walks away, old-woman like. I started reading, it isn't too interesting, and I really don't want to spend my time reading this book, but I am forced to as she clearly borrowed me the book to read! What should I do, advice redditors? And please don't just say "read it, you dong", I've already considered it.
