Yup, I understand. I spent 4 hrs reading that, and wouldn't give up until I finished it.

Lady Sickness Kumiko-Misaki Yup, I understand. I spent 4 hrs reading that, and wouldn't give up until I finished it. It only took you four hours? o.O Woah, you have to be kidding right? I'd say total reading time for me would be about 20-23 hours, not counting the fact I had to go to sleep early for school each night, spend a few hours each day at school, an hour doing homework each day, breaks for eating and showering and taking care of my pets. If I wasn't in school I wouldn't have slept at all and would have finished the first day I got it. Would have been better, the only thing I could think about in class today was 'must get home and finish Harry Potter, must get back to my book!'

Would have been better, the only thing I could think about in class today was 'must get home and finish Harry Potter, must get back to my book!' Believe it or not, I'm not kidding. Now I've read it 9 times. xD Wow! That would be awsome. I always wished I was a speed reader. I love books and can read them faster than most people, like a good Dean Koontz book only takes me 6-8 hours if I'm really into it, but I want to read as many books as I can and thats hard now a days because I have soooo many giant books I have to read hundreds of pages from almost nightly because of college so I don't have much time to read what I want... I accually stopped studying for a test I had when I got Harry Potter, I still did well but I probley could have goteen 100% had I not dropped everythig for that book. lol. So anyway the whole point to that pretty much is I wish I could read super fast so I could read more because I don't think one lifetime is enough to read all the books that I would want to read, and all the books that come out in the future that I'll want to read also. And then there are the books that I want to re-read... just not enough time.

I know, there's never enough time to do the thing you want to do. Sometimes I just want there to be a giant time freezer. xD By the way, being a speed reader has its disadvantages too. Sometimes, if I reach a boring part of a book, I start skim reading, which is bad because not only do I not comprehend it, I have to re-read it. And my skim reading is like reading a page per 2 seconds. Also, when reading books like Harry Potter, it's frusterating not being able to talk about the ending with friends because they haven't finished it yet!

I hate to tell you this, but there isn't any good point in the book for putting it done, it's too cliffhanger-ish, and rather spiffy.

Also, when reading books like Harry Potter, it's frusterating not being able to talk about the ending with friends because they haven't finished it yet! Yeah I know allabout that. Me and my teacher and oneother girl we're the only ones in the class who read it overthe weekend it came out so when it got brought up we we're just dying to talk but we couldn't spoil it for the rest of the girls. And I know what your talking about Scribblet! I couldn't stand having to put it down for one second! And durring a really good point I was at my friends house reading in the backyard while the boys were playing Guitar Hero(they were in the back yard too) and all of sudden this guy I hate comes walking into the backyard and because the guys were playing video games he decided he would interupt my reading because he can't shut the hell up for even one second! Its ALWAYS about him...me this, me that, blah blah blah, me me me, yada yada yada, me me me. I almost beat him to death with the book!! I just wanted to read and I hate this abusive b*****d because I've seen how he treated his ex, he cheated on her and beat the crapout of her. I don't like talking to men like that, exspecialy when they interupt me when I'm am obviously busy.
