RE: National Tell a Story Day

in ThoughtfulDailyPost3 years ago

Your going to read the whole book in one night? Those are some next level skills. My wife and sister read that fast, but it usually takes me a couple of months to read a book. I never check them out from the library because I can never get them done in time! I have always been a slow reader.

Sort:  

I am a fast reader. Most everyone in my house is, and many times we have good tradeoffs. We swap with a kindle when we are desperate for something new because there are so many free books there, but, we are fortunate to have quite a few libraries around us.

The thing about slow readers is they usually read a book once because they have completely consumed the book. They would get nothing by it. I can read a book over a time or two as I sometimes miss out on tiny innuendos.

Although, that could just be me. :) Hey, you! Have a great day!

Most of the people I know read so fast because they skip over all of the small words that they feel are just filler. Like and, a, is, stuff like that. I consume every word. There have been a few books that I have read more than once. They had to be really special though.

Exactly my point. You don't need to read them over because you missed some of the finer details.

I am not a speed reader, so I don't really skip words, I just read fast most days. But, even if I do read every word, Some details get lost on me or misplaced in the story. :)

I wonder if when I have all the time in the world, if I will slow down?

Ah, okay, I gotcha. My wife and I say that to each other all the time. I don't think things ever slow down. We don't even have kids and we are crazy busy. I can't imagine if we did!
