If I have my way PhotoJim Send a noteboard - 23/09/2009 02:26:06 PM
I try to stop at chapter endings. This is especially true when switching books. A chapter ending should be a logical break in the narrative. But when reading and just putting the book down, it can be mid sentence. When the light turns green you have to put the book down and drive. Standing in line at a fast food joint, it would be rude to hold up the one minute sign to finish the chapter before giving your order.
Everybody was Kung Fu fighting!

Not to be rude but who are you? And I suppose equally important, where are we?
