What's the best page of a book?

[ma0sm]

I’d say 147, on average. Enough time to set the scene and then to really get things going.

Definitely not the prologue. Will ask that robot

Did you know that the maximum number of sides for a mathematically fair dice is 120?

104

147 was already funny but then 184 riffed on it in a way that was frickin sublime

The blank ones at the back I can write rude things on for whoever reads it next.

And, you know, not all books go there, that’s just a shame the author’s don’t have the vision to get their best page out there

Whenever I’m browsing books in a shop, I scan through page 100 to see if it feels right or not.

great idea

i used to grab my mum’s library books and read out the last page to her out loud and she’d put her hands over her ears

i was such a little c**t of a child

Close

…but it’s 143

I tend to give most attention to the first and final thirds of what I’m reading so some of them idk

This page from the Yiddish Folktales book that @Peanutbuttertoast lent me is particularly strong

[manches]

I didn’t notice the title until after I’d read it and I chuckled so much
