Last week I had a bit of a dilemma.
I was reading a book that came highly recommended by someone that I trusted. It was a novel of suspense, and hasn't yet been published, and it's not published by Random House (my employer), so I didn't know anyone else that had read it yet.
About three chapters into the novel, I had a very strong sense of what would happen through the rest of the novel. I knew the dilemma faced by the main character, and I saw how it would play out through the rest of the book. I strongly suspected that I knew how it would end.
And so I was faced with a choice: do I keep reading, even though I was pretty sure that I knew what was going to happen? Or do I put it down and move on to another book?
I made a choice, but I'm not going to tell you which one just yet. Instead, I have put up a little poll. What would you do?
I'll leave this poll up for a week, and then do a follow-up post to tell you what I decided to do.
