A couple of weeks ago I watched an "American Greed" TV episode about the e-cigarette Juul. The story was so interesting I took a book out of the library about that story, "The Devil's Playbook." The book, so far, is very interesting. I'm on page 65, with a mere 400 to go. At my current pace, I should finish it by the year 2025 or so.
Over the last couple of years (longer?) I find I just can't read a book for very long in any one sitting. For longer books, that means I either give up or do a lot of skimming. I will likely use this strategy for this current book. But going forward I think I'll throw in the towel and just read shorter books.
One of my all-time favorite novels was James Michener's "The Covenant."
Over 1100 pages, and it was a labor of love when I read that. Of course, I was about 30 years old at the time; 40+ years has made a big difference. Am I alone in this?
