Why I Have Not Written Any of My Books by Marcel Bénabou.
my old Websters
In this age of text it's hard to admit, but sometimes you just can't finish a book. BUT there's a difference between giving up at page 197 and stopping at page three. The former is a falling out of love, but the latter? What is the Sticking Point? That's the question.
My rules for reading or not reading as the case may be.
- I have to want to read the book.
- I must make an honest effort.
- No easy targets allowed.
- Reading just the jacket text doesn't count.
good reads
