Division of the book.

I just started reading Carrie, its decent and everything, but I have a hard time finding stopping points, because it is only devided in 3 parts. Does anyone else have this problem?

Not really. A lot of authors do it like that these days... but the sections are pretty much divided by white space before and after the articles so it's pretty easy to just stick the bookmark in and know where to start next time. Terry Pratchett is also big on having no chapters or parts to a novel.

:D

Yeah, it wasn't that hard... It just kind of irritated me. But I'm done with it now, getting ready to start The Talisman.

You'll find reading Dolores Claiborne a lot more tough. It really doesn't have any "stopping points" at all. It's one continuous narrative.

i like that - it means you feel compelled to devour it in one go without pause, which is neat when an author pulls it off so that you genuinely agree with that feeling. i remember fahrenheit 451 did that too, didn't it? and when i read it years ago, it was in one sitting over about 90 mins because i couldn't put it down and there was nowhere to stop in it anyway.
