Chopping up books when they're physically too big

    This is done by default in Japan. Most long books are sold as different volumes, parts, etc. At first I didn't really like it (especially because you'd have to buy both Vol.1 and 2 for the whole thing), but it makes sense if you're going to be bringing books around with you.

      I've gotten really used to it too. I find myself reading more because I can carry most books in the side pocket of my shorts or whatever.
