Some stories are for swallowing. Imagine that you have found a good story, and, what is even more important, the time to enjoy it. You might be on holiday, or on a long train journey. If it is a good book, you might say, It's so good I can't put it dow
“這本書太好了，我舍不得把它放下。”但是并非所有的故事書都屬于這一類。書評家們有時把一些書說成是“難以釋手”的書，或者是“難以再讀”的書。
