Lately I've been reading a little of this, a little of that, without finishing anything. I'm not proud of it but I guess it's better than not reading at all. I have a hard time finding something that captivates me.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508742959515718492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-522319810296642659.post-47639881478077111352013-01-17T10:47:22.322-06:002013-01-17T10:47:22.322-06:00Jeanie, this is a great option for a 14 day book. ...Jeanie, this is a great option for a 14 day book. You do not need to read it cover to cover and each piece is short enough to read in one sitting. I would suggest you start by scanning the table of contents for authors of the pieces that you are most interested in or for books that they are talking about that grab your interest. You do not need to read this book in order.<br /><br />That is an important point because many people are so trained to read from page 1 to the last page that they forget with compilations like this you can sample some or read it in an order you have created.<br /><br />Have fun and let us know what you thought.Beckyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01085260877904727608noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-522319810296642659.post-977837615357796552013-01-16T22:03:10.865-06:002013-01-16T22:03:10.865-06:00I haven't traditionally been a fan of mysterie...I haven't traditionally been a fan of mysteries, but "Books to Die For: The World's Greatest Mystery Writers on the World's Greatest Mystery Novels" looked appealing and I checked it out of my library. Do you know anything about this one? It's a new book, so I can only have it 14 days and I wonder how hard I should try to finish it.Jeaniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12508742959515718492noreply@blogger.com
