On judging a book...

I told you all I started out with a nice, easy John Saul book mainly just for an easy story without too many complications. Turns out I am not even passively a John Saul fan anymore, and The Presence was a complete waste. But I finished what I had started.
My next book, called The Death of Vishnu has started out very good. I might even finish it in one day.


I am so bad about this, but when selecting these books for this summer, I had no easy list of books or authors, no particular subject in mind.
I basically walked up and down the fiction/literature aisle and picked out interesting titles which were under 2 bucks... what can I say.. I'm cheap!
So, there you have my confession. I do judge a book by its cover, condition, and size.
