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!
