#ScribesAndMakers day 8: How long does it usually take you to decide if you like a book?
Could be as little as a page or two, or it might take me up to a few chapters — let's say, maybe up to 15,000 words or so — before I decide to DNF something. (Given how slowly I read, I should probably learn to pull the ripcord earlier, but I feel so bad about doing so.)
