Mostly agree, but I find as time goes on there's an increasingly larger percentage of prospective books to read that I'm blase about, not unlike TV and film. I now abort after a few chapters if it does nothing for me. I've done this for authors I know and like. More likely for me to finish non-fiction over fiction. The only books I've wanted to read twice over so far are from Dostoevsky and Pynchon.
- colechristensen 4y agoBut are there any of those you’d want to suggest somebody else read?
- slothtrop 4y agoNot understanding the question
- colechristensen 4y agoI mean the books in the basement, are they books you would suggest to someone to read, give to a partner, child, or friend? This is one of the values I have in a library of books many of which myself I'll likely never read again. Giving the right one to the right person.
- slothtrop 4y agoI'd probably suggest any book I like in which case I wouldn't be as eager to get rid of it. I think you might have me mixed up with another user because I don't have a large library and didn't suggest I did.
- colechristensen 4y agoHm, yup. Looks like I hit reply on the wrong comment.
