Unfinished business


WHY are some books abandoned halfway? We ran a survey to find the answers, and we also wanted to know if you would give the book another chance, and why.

With the help of Times bookstores, we offered a little token to the readers who sent in the five best answers to our Read Me Not! survey. The following five readers will each receive RM20 worth of book vouchers from Times. Here are their replies as well as some of the best of the rest of the almost 200 replies we received from people – people of all ages, too, ranging from students to retirees!
