Adam, MArcus, you both have one of my books The Elfstones of Shannara and The Sword of Shannara, respectively. If you are finished with them, or never are going to read them, I would like to have them back, please.
Thank you.

I read at my own pace. I'll read faster when I get into a book.

Yeah, rushing through a book just means that you miss half the message. Kinda defeats the purpose of reading the book...

I don't read fast on purpose. It's just how I go. If the book is boring (Jane Eyre, Tess, Their Eyes were Wathcing God) then I cannot bring myself to read it.

I LIKED Their Eyes Were Watching God. You just don't get character-books.

I'm not saying that people shouldn't read fast, they just shouldn't try to. I'm a fast reader, but I do slow down when I really want to absorb something.

Jane Eyre was okay. It was dry in areas. I never read Tess.

The End.
