Eric: Back from appointments
Car registered, car inspected, thirty five pages of Pedestrian Wolves read.
You can tell my feelings about a book by how fast I read it. If it's something I think I should like, I slog my way through, doing two or three pages in five minutes. It's like doing homework, only without the pleasure of grades.
If I hate a book, I skip to the last chapter and see if I like that any better. If I get through the last chapter and don't wonder even slightly how we got there, I'm done with that book.
If I like a book, I devour it whole. Pages fly by like leaves in the wind, and I couldn't tell you how I got to the end -- I was just glad I did. And then I reread it. On a good book, I'll reread three times in a row to squeeze out every drop, and then it goes onto my pile of books that I reread roughly yearly.
I had less than twenty minutes of reading time so far, between everything. That was good for thirty-five pages.
I conclude this is going to be a fun ride.
