This was a great way to learn more about you.
I do the same thing with nonfiction books. I skim and read thoroughly the parts I'm really interested in.
leave for SD a week from Tuesday.
Its always a good trip. Just hope my upgrade to first class comes though
Glad you enjoyed your Vay Kay
It's a good thing that you love to read. I wish I did, but I don't and I think it's because I read so slowly.
Have a good week, Linda
I have had long periods in my life when reading was my only passion. Some days I'd read two or three books a day, and I'm not talking light reading I'm talking serious literature.
But when the writing muse takes me, I'm unable to read. I must write, but can't read. Odd, that.
