can you even remember anything reading something in 3 hours? I just can't comprehend this at all
summer reads crazy fast and still comprehends everything
haha the more i get to know about summer the more i find we are alike. haha
I read the entire LOTR trilogy in about two days..? skipped some parts of ROTK tho cos the movie didn't come out yet and i wanted to be at least a little surprised.
Read the hobbit in like.. i duno 2-3 hours
it's nutty
i miss it, i used to reaad like 2-3 books a day when i didn't work
That's pretty intense. I'm fairly fast..but not that fast. I read twice as fast as my sister, so when reading the LOTR trilogy together I read it twice over by the time she was done the first time. I miss stuff sometimes cause I read so fast so I just read it twice. I enjoy it more that way.
yeah it's weird too cos this was like 2 years ago and i remember a LOT of details from those books, like things that weren't in the movie, exact quotes, descriptions, etc.
I've always wanted to actually learn speed-reading.. but then i don't think it would be as enjoyable
holy crap.
yeah, I can't imagine reading like that.
I read so slow. I read as if I'm reading a story out load to someone.
I read slower than THAT. I read like I'm reading out loud to a group of mentally challenged infants or something.
oh yeah? well actually I can't read. so I read a book as if I'm trying to teach myself how to read. cause I can't. and its really slow.
haha. Yeah. We had just gotten married. I was looking for a job. We didn't have Tv or internet. I would walk to the library (down the road) and take out like 2-3 books a day cos otherwise I had nothing entertaining to do but cook and clean..
Thats insanely fast. I can do 100 pages in a day. But 3 books in a day. My head would melt.
lets find a crazy long book and have a race! my most amazing accomplishment was reading the otherland series (4 books 792+675+784+1066=3317 pages) in five days. of course, i didnt sleep.
wow. that would have taken me something like a month and a half or two months.
what are those books about anyway?
would have taken me about 3 years.
the series is set a few years in the future when you can literally plug yourself in to a vr web so theres neat techie stuff. plus theres bad guys and conspiracy and its all mysterious. its like sci-fi (emphasis on the sci) plus suspense. see link in comment #33.
Otherland series? This sounds interesting. Explain.
they are awesome. my friend ben told me about them. heres a link:
