Reading a book, for me at least, is like traveling in someone else's world. If it's a good book, then you feel comfortable and yet anxious to see what's going to happen to you there, what'll be around the next corner. But if it's a lousy book, then it's like going through Secaucus, New Jersey — it smells and you wish you weren't there, but since you've started the trip, you roll up the windows and breathe through your mouth until you're done.
