I have recently read the Mysterious Benedict Society Trilogy. It is amystery/ sci-fi I recommend those who haven't read it, check it out. 😃

@blueskytoday -.- Yes, but I didn't sit and read it for hours on end. I could've finished it faster. I finished a 500-page book in about 4 hours in total, i took a few breaks. And if that's slow, whatever. XD I read faster than half the population at my school. And I don't skim very often. I actually read to read, not for speed. I read an 800-page book in like... Less than a week. I think it took 4 or 5 days.

yah, I understand what you mean. If its an amazing book, then it takes 2 hours, however long it is. If its a boring-but-have-to-read book, then yah, it takes a long time.

@blueskytoday I just take my time... Most of the books I read aren't required, but I have a hard time just sitting and doing nothing. 😋

@ems -
my books are not required either (or at least most). And actually, I do take my time, I just happen to read at a slightly faster pace than some people, but AI don't skim at all.

@blueskytoday I skim sometimes, but I always get mad at myself and go back to re-read. XD

@ems -
if i've already read the book, and I know I don't like that part then I will sometimes skim, but only if I really *hate* that part.

ems • 1 June 2013 at 9:41 PM

@blueskytoday Same, but I don't really 're-read' books. XD

@ems -
(first, sorry about the request, I didn't read the "no random" part until after vI sent. I just thought we would like each other)
I don't *frequently* get new books, so I would probably go coo-coo if I didn't reread, just so I could read something.

@blueskytoday Pshh, it's alright. I go with the flow. 😋 Reject and move on. No drama crap or nothing. Don't worry about it. ^^

Eh.... I love reading, buts felt I haven't been doing it as much. I can afford to wait for books, really. I don't get new books that often, but books take me awhile to digest, so I have time.
