Welcome to The Last 100 Pages

I am a compulsive reader. I have thought about starting a group called Over-Readers Anonymous, but that would have taken too much time from my reading. So I decided to start this blog instead.

The Last 100 Pages.

When reading a novel the last 100 pages are usually what determines weather you'll finish the book and run to the computer to locate the author's next book, (if you don't have it already) or slam the book down and go "WTF was that?"

In this blog I plan to review novels that I've read. I read mostly popular fiction, westerns and historical fiction. Occasionally I'll mix in a non-fiction. What I won't be doing is discussing off the wall, out of the way, artsy stuff acadamia gets upset isn't more widedly read. There's a reason it isn't. If you like that stuff you won't be reading here for very long. I will also write about topics that surround readers in our society. Like what a pain in the ass hardback books are compared to paperbacks, or why I keep an excel spreadsheet of everything I've read.

That's all for now, I am not yet within the last 100 pages of "To The Last Man" by Jeff Shaara.
