Stop Reading

There are two kinds of books I stop reading: ones that can't hold my interest, which are usually set aside towards the beginning; and ones that are so remarkable I don't want them to end.  Those ones are usually set aside towards the end.

It's funny, because you always hear about people talking about how a book was so good they couldn't put it down.  I think that's backwards.  I think if a book is that amazing you should wish it to remain unresolvable, and let its implications ruminate through the doorways of your mind for the rest of time.

The only books worth finishing are the OK ones.
