Last week was a dud for reading. \u00a0I started three books and wandered away from each one. \u00a0Sigh. \u00a0Sometimes you just strike out. \u00a0Luckily, the library is holding three more books for me as I type. \u00a0I’ve decided there are far too many good books out there to waste your time on the sour ones. \u00a0So, if a book doesn’t grab me in the first 100 pages or so, I toss it and try another. \u00a0I used to feel guilty about this but now, it’s par for the course and quite liberating.<\/p>\n
