Don't worry I won't try to make some larger metaphor for life based on this observation, although it is very tempting. Hopefully you see where I am heading.

Beginning
It is my belief that the first ten pages are the hardest part of reading a book. For me part of the problem is that I have a lot of expectations for most books I buy. I start getting a little flustered if the beginning isn't incredibly attention grabbing. I just really want books to be good, maybe I shouldn't put so much pressure on them. Last night I forced myself through the first ten pages of Caravans by James Michener, then the next thing I knew I was 90 pages into the book.
