Welcome to a new addition to our little family!
Today’s topic: whatcha readin’?
**The term “Book lust” comes from Nancy Pearl, a librarian and the author of Book Lust (2003), and More Book Lust (2005). Each book is divided into short chapters with her reading recommendations on various topics. She also has a great philosophy on reading: no one should ever finish a book they’re not enjoying, doesn’t matter how many best seller lists it might be on. So she has a “rule of 50” — if you are younger than 50, you must read 50 pages before you can stop. If you’re not into it by page 50, junk it and move on. If you’re over 50, you subtract your age from 100, and that’s the number of pages you must read before quitting. (You can always go back to it later.) If you are 100, you get to judge the book by its cover!
