DateQuestionAnswer
2017-03-13 13:00:00 (link to chat)What criteria do you use to determine what baseball book to pick up next? Author, subject matter, peer recommendation etc.? Don't have as much time to read as I'd like, so the opportunity cost of choosing the "wrong" book can be high.
(nschaef from NYC)
This is a really important question! As an old person with small children, whose reading time is in no small part consumed by figuring out where on the page I was when I fell asleep, I feel this. But I'm also someone who tries to approach works with as few pre-determined notions as possible, so it's difficult. I admit I still pick pretty much at random, which will lead to some bombs, but also lead to some unexpected gems, like Jim Brosnan's 1959 The Long Season. What I really need to get better at is abandoning ship fifty pages in if it's not working. (Patrick Dubuque)
