I read The 7 1/2 Deaths of Evelyn Hardcastle, and take enjoyed it. Read another book, then started reading Devil and the Dark Water by the same author. I got about 25% through and just decided to drop it for something else. I’m not an avid reader so i never know if I should stay committed or not.

    I’ll give it 100 pages. If I find I’m not excited to read it the next night, I’ll drop it. Too many books to waste time on something not resonating with you. If a book is good, it’ll happen before you have finished 100 pages. If the “good parts” only happen after the first 100 pages, I’ll drop it. Life’s too short.
