When I was a kid, I used to try to read as many books as I could in one afternoon. This got me into some weird trouble with my parents over, of course, whether I really liked Lord of the Rings, or whether it was a clever ploy to get some books for free, or whether I was just reading Harry Potter all the time.
(I was very much into Lord of the Rings, actually. I guess it just didn’t look as fun as Harry Potter)
Anyway, I thought it would be interesting to do this with books that aren’t actually famous or popular. Specifically, I decided to do Ender’s Game, a novel I had never heard of or read before (in the course of a single afternoon, with my parents on vacation) that I was interested in and didn’t really understand, on the theory that if I read a novel that wasn’t Lord of the Rings and I actually enjoyed it, I might never have to read Lord of the Rings at all.
Anyway, I guess I just wanted to mention that I’m still in Lord of the Rings.
I support you, Frank!
