I might not have the fortitude to keep going on in reading their work, and I might truly miss something great.Zibileehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05857638467064749190noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169780697300333304.post-46606314598692865822009-05-01T15:35:00.000-06:002009-05-01T15:35:00.000-06:00Yes, I agree.

It's about building the credit. I do believe in second chances. :)<br /><br />I'm extra cautious about reading another if the author is not good in my book. At least I wouldn't buy it but borrow it.<br /><br />Expectation is a huge factor. Once I have liked a book, my expectation mounts. Whether the author is my favorite or not, I'll be bummed out if the book doesn't hit the mark.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5169780697300333304.post-51866089547625397092009-04-30T11:48:00.000-06:002009-04-30T11:48:00.000-06:00I am with you.
