Books bring a myriad of thoughts and opinions.  Those thoughts and opinions often begin well before the book is opened.  The mere sight of a cover, or the name of the author or the title is enough to spawn excitement into the potential reader.  Once the excitement turns into action, the book is picked up and the reader is on their scholastic and literary journey.  Throughout the twists and turns, the excitement and exuberance, the suspense and surprise, the curiosity and corralling of feelings, the prime objective of starting a book remains paramount: to finish the damn thing.
