Welcome to I Prefer Reading

This blog is devoted to reading and encrouraging others to read more. I'm not a genre snob. While partial to mysteries, I'm game to read anything, as long as it passes the 50-page rule (that a book is interesting after 50 pages). According the Stephen King, if you're over the age of 50, you can subtract the number of years over 50 you are from the 50 pages (so If you're 57, and a book has not hooked you by page 43, you can give it up--so many books, so little time after all).
