Can you find the will to finish reading a book if doing so would carry the undertaking across the changing of the year? Some people can’t. PossibleUnderscore writes, “When reading a book, I cannot read it from the end of December into the New Year. I can’t read it over the transition of the years. I feel it tears the book in two so that it is, effectively, hanging in oblivion, not having been read in either time. To me, it’s a disorder that must be avoided at ALL costs.”

So today’s list of the day is “Books torn asunder by New Year’s Eve.”
