What's your reading stamina?
While searching for a new book to read, I realized if I am not intrigued by a book, I will only make it about an eighth of the way through. I couldn't believe it. I actually have eight books on my bookshelf with bookmarks all at almost the same spot!
My roommate, however, tends to stop with about an eighth of the book to go. RocketReader has all sorts of suggestions to improve your stamina, but I think getting another book just might be the way to go. Well, who am I to talk about reading stamina?
Any suggestions for a good book to read?

That is interesting! And I don't have any suggestions! I am always the girl waiting for people to suggest books to me!
