I really feel bad. And this is embarassing, because I'm going to sound arrogant.

How on earth can people feel proud of only reading a book a week, or less, even? I can read a book just going to class, and another coming home. It's a sad week when I don't manage to read even one book. High school, I would take out six books from the library at once, return all six within two days. That's not counting the books they gave me, and the ones I read while in the library during lunch. Is it normal to read so little? Is it that people read slowly, or that they have other things to do? I don't get it.

I feel weird now. Like the freak here.

Well, I did tell you not to click. Don't blame me.

I don't read very much at all, and it's something I *highly* dislike about myself. I'm just always so busy, and when I *do* have time to read, it takes me soooo loooong. If I sit down and do absolutely nothing else for an entire day, I can *possibly* get through 400 pages, if I'm lucky. *That's* how long it takes me to read.

So yeah. I'm joining the "we're all jealous of conuly's L33T reading skills" crowd. :)

oh, and i meant to say -- mi madre has the same killer reading skills as you. she's always pouring over books, and she can get through them so fast! she stayed with me a few weeks after i started grad school, and she just *could not understand* why it took me so long to get through my assignments! :)
