Pleasing things: finding a large number of tales that one has not read before. Or acquiring the second volume of a tale whose first volume one has enjoyed. But often it is a disappointment.

About This Quote

Pleasing things is a book that you are not really sure about. There are some things you like about it, but there are also some things that you don't like. It may be too serious or too lighthearted, or the plot may seem to be dragged out. Still, you can't put it down.

You have to know what happens next. And when the story is over, you want it to start again.
