IOW, drop books that just...i meant discard the BAD. IOW, drop books that just blah, blah, early on. Now, the danger can be in dropping a book that is at a higher level because it is harder to read and is not "exciting". Some books by CS LEWIS and Charles Williams may start off extremely mundane, day-to-day and almost (but not really) boring and then become the most exciting books possible such as The Place of the Lion by Williams or The Hideous Strength by Lewis. <BR/><BR/>So, OTOH, one must not drop books too fast.Vagabond Recon777https://www.blogger.com/profile/11061995443746268975noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3658995350403073675.post-81167876814748315732008-08-11T12:37:00.000-04:002008-08-11T12:37:00.000-04:00And there are soooo many books that just blah, bla...And there are soooo many books that just blah, blah, blah $$$.<BR/><BR/>Reading books can be just as large of a time waster AND harder on the eyes that wasting them on TV and movies so one does need to discard the old.<BR/><BR/>My wife is reading a book right now about the Virgin of Fatima. I read the first few pages, and then, blah, blah, blah....zzzzz<BR/><BR/>Really, so many books are that way, just like so much (most) of the muzak that's around: Spears, Faith Hill, 90% of country??
