First you turn a page and then the page turns you.That tipping point may appear on 43rd page or somewhere around 17th...or just anytime!

Every book I cast my eyes on tries my preparedness for surprises [or the lack of it] and often smiles back with cunning antipathy. Some unflinching trust in not choosing and being chosen by a book keeps me moving...and eventually find the defining page or word to justify my effort...I move on smiling! 

Suddenly flipping pages becomes 'reading the Book'...
