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.

Well, you probably are a freak, but at least it's in a nice sort of way.

I'm the same way, though it does take me longer to finish longer books. I'm not entirely sure of the time scale that you give because you don't say what sorts of books you usually read on the commute. There's quite a difference between, say, Tolstoy and Tamora Pierce.

But no matter the books, I think that the overwhelming majority of people don't read much more than reading slowly. My little brother reads about a book a week, but he would rather watch TV than read, so he only ends up doing it sometimes. And, of course, you probably do read quicker than most...

Umm. I'm too spacy to be making comments today. I paused for a moment to listen to the music and totally forgot what I was going to say.

Hm. How about Shade's Children? Bigger than most TP, much smaller than War and Peace.
