10. I find new fiction by reading the book reviews in the Washington Post.

I never quit a book halfway through. Some of the best books I've read took 100 pages to really get going, and then they were fantastic. That's usually because the story required a lot of development to set up the characters and plot. But since I buy books before I read them, I have an investment in them.If its a bust, I trade it in for books at one of the used bookstores in town.
