My preference is to stop at some sort of scene break. A chapter is the most logical choice. A scene break between chapters is my next choice. Some sort of stopping point at the end of a chapter that ends at the top of a page is next, for example, I don't like to stop in the middle of a lot of dialog.
I like to continue with the first new chapter that is on the current page. |
I stop wherever I am when I absolutely have to put the book down. I don't understand stopping at an arbitrary point--what do you do after you stop reading? Just sit and stare at the wall?
Every night, I read until I fall asleep. Literally. I've been doing this since I was a small child. One of the great things about e-readers is that I don't have to search for my page every morning when I wake up.
If I'm waiting for something, (doctor's office, public transportation, whatever) I read until I have to stop. How would the "stop at the end of the chapter" thing work? When I'm in a waiting room at the doctor's office, I never know how long it's going to take, so how would I know when to stop reading? I just read until the doctor is ready to see me, then I stop wherever I am.
