How Many Pages Do You Give a Book to Impress You?

The Wall Street Journal's Cynthia Crossen recently tackled this question

I for one like Nancy Pearl's rule of 50:

If you are 50 years old or younger = give a book 50 pages
If you are over 50, subtract your age from 100 and give a book that many pages.

Some Book Wordle Fun

Lots of us have been reading and talking about the Stephenie Meyer's Twilight series recently--so I think it is time to make a book wordle about them. Comment to this post by Derby Day with words that you associate with the book. Don't worry if someone else has already put that word, it will just give it more emphasis in the final wordle.

If you don't know what a wordle is, check out the Wordle website.
