I think this method works because it exposes you to more books than you'd otherwise get to, increasing the chances you'll find a great one.

Perhaps, but how does it expose me to more books. What is this method compared to?

I don’t think there are only two options- quit after 50 pages or always finish. You certainly shouldn’t always finish, but I don’t think you should always read 50 pages either.

Im more in the camp of “having to rule is better than following this rule.”
