to become involved in a book.
That's what my librarian mother has always told me and I find it to be mostly true. In 100 pages I think the plot should be sufficiently built up so that you, the reader, know whether or not you will continue with the book.
I was thinking about this philosophy as I looked at my "unread" bookshelf. Yes, there is an entire bookshelf dedicated to books I own and have not read. I'm sure I have at least 120 books that I really do want to read, but haven't got 'round to it.
So I'd like to start a little series here called 100 pages. I will pick a book from my TBR bookshelf and read the first 100 pages. Once that is done I will give a brief summary here saying what the book is about and my findings in the first 100 pages, then move on to the next book. I hope that by doing this I'll be able to power through the books that I ultimately won't interest me, and the ones that do I'll know to get back to, or just continue on reading, whichever.
See you soon with my first First 100 page book!
