That lady is awesome!!
If I'm totally ob...WOW! That lady is awesome!!<br /><br />If I'm totally obsessed with a book I'll finish it that day. If I'm only mildly obsessed it will take me 2 days. Anything else takes me about 3 days. I can finish a 1000 page book in a day if I'm completely obsessed...<br /><br />I seem to read only at night or when I wake up. In bed. Unless I'm obsessed and I'll read where ever, whenever, I just have to know more about the story! <br /><br />OK, so I get a little obsessed when I read. I live vicariously through the characters. It takes me away from my real life and gives me something new. I never kept any notes on the books I read until a few months ago when I started my book blog. Now when I finish a book I sit down immediately and write the review.MARY IN SCOTLAND https://www.blogger.com/profile/04390613561715464322noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060047013304842896.post-70342383240556461662009-10-17T13:20:14.781-05:002009-10-17T13:20:14.781-05:00I read quite quickly. If I love the story I'll...I read quite quickly. If I love the story I'll finish it in a day or two. (Not easy to do with kids, life, writing - but a really good book won't just sit there waiting, it'll clamor and squawk and I have to finish it!)<br />Other books I'll read only at night, and will take a week or so. <br />Admittedly - if I'm not hooked by the third chapter, I won't finish it. <br /><br />Don't often make notes on books I've read -but I do tend to tweet or mention the stand out ones in my blog. (and tell everyone within ear shot how awesome it was!)Cat Connorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12148689729839085230noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060047013304842896.post-53742146615107324642009-10-15T08:31:40.569-05:002009-10-15T08:31:40.569-05:00Greg, that is awesome!

I personally would like to see a blog post about why you love reading so much. You know I'm a movie-hound, and I could portend my love of said in a diatribe. I'd like to hear that from you, what you specifically get out of it... <br /><br />Sincerely,<br />NewDorkBookReview fan!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5060047013304842896.post-81738031933618927662009-10-14T09:47:38.391-05:002009-10-14T09:47:38.391-05:00Greg -- Read anything interesting lately regarding...Greg -- Read anything interesting lately regarding evidence-based design?Unknownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04188217418635654613noreply@blogger.com
