The pattern is always the same. I sit down and crack open a book I'm to read for class--or rather, a book I was supposed to have read already. I force my way through the first fifty pages or so.
The problem is the authors always like to use those first fifty pages to redundantly tell me why the book is necessary. Their arguments are not unconvincing, but I was going to read it anyway, and by the time they're done convincing me to I'm tired of reading.
Maybe I should always start with chapter 3.
