Rule #1,097

No amount of background explanation can change your mind about some people.

Rule #1,067 (Beginning of What Makes Books Great Theme Week)

 I'm an avid reader, and some books just have a tendency to draw you and captivate you.  In honor of such wonderful books, I'm writing a week's worth of rules concerning things books do that make them equal to more than the sum of their parts.

What Makes Books Great Rule #1:

Great books have such an interesting world setting that the background itself becomes a character.

Rule #1,027

Before you commit to dressing up in a silly costume, remember that fake beards are itchy, and paint on your skin can get very uncomfortable.

Rule #136

Don't judge books based on what you hear other people say about them. Read them for yourself and find out.
