Who knows. Sometimes before I’ve finished a book I’m already looking for something else, sort of as inspiration to read the current one quicker. Sometimes I stop reading the "learning books" that are always around to be read over a longer period in stop and go fashion, well sometimes I stop reading them altogether to focus on the one that’s grabbed my mind’s time. And sometimes, after I’ve finished a good book, I want to dwell in it awhile longer, reluctant to let go, like a good movie you’ve drunk in through your pores.
So, who knows.
The Lost Children: A Charity Anthology
How fast do you read anyway? I’m talking, no radio, no TV, and you are interested.
Give a MPH sonar estimate.
It seems like it’s about a week to three weeks, depending on the book. The hypertext took a little over a week, but Bulgakov’s took longer, and the “learning” texts such as Augustine’s Confessions take a few months reading a couple pages at a time, and not daily.
The secret: I read when I’m supposed to be working. I also read while watching television.
