Stephen King is the all-time master of horror fiction.
Just sayin'.
No need to waste perfectly good tomatoes, fellas--I'll show myself out.
Yeah, I can relate to that. Pharmacy package inserts--Gotta unfold and read the entire thing.
And the print is so goddamned small.
When it comes to books though...I'd say I'm generally willing to give a title several chapters to grab me if I think the book may hold promise. When reading for pleasure, a third of the way in is about as far as I'll go before I'll put it down and move on to something else. I'll often do the same with films--though I probably give them closer to the halfway mark.
The way I figure it, I wouldn't keep eating food that I discovered to be bad just because I started it.
I see no good reason to do that when it comes to books and movies either...lol
Thena Logic: It isn't everyone's cup of tea, but it works for me.

And congrats on being that guy who actually reads the books in his collection rather the simply amassing books that make him appear well-read.
I'm "OC" like that, lol.
I mean, it's a little sad that I've even read the whole Kindle manual guide as well ...
