Felicitations

I'm a fiction lover, but there are many folks here who are just as passionate about nonfiction (which I do enjoy, it just takes me a lot longer to get through them, which is frustrating).

[C.W. Sims]

I have exactly the same problem. Unless a book is just phenomenal I can't usually read non-fiction quickly. For some reason my mind just doesn't process it fast enough. If I read it quickly I walk away not having grasped a damn thing. Fiction on the other hand I can fly through relatively quickly if the book is good enough. I just finished the book Medusa by Clive Cussler and it took me nearly no time at all.

I've read every Harry Potter book in under a day.

[C.W. Sims]

Ok, now I feel slightly dwarfed. I can't read quite that fast. It usually takes me a couple days of reading to finish a book, at least. Most times because of life's funny happenings I tend to take a couple weeks. My partner is not big on reading and likes to be up doing things so I sort of follow his lead most of the time.

That was not my intention, lol. I've been reading since I was very, very young and the circumstances of life left me a lot of time to do so (and a lot of motivation). I don't read fiction, I devour it. I stay up all night, skip meals, that kind of thing. I feel like we are going to be very bromantic.

[C.W. Sims]

Haha sounds good to me. I guess I have met my match when it comes to reading though. I have never in my life been one to skip meals, probably why I am a tad overweight. But I love that I found someone who loves books obviously as much as me. Have you ever heard of the author Alastair Reynolds?

[Annik]

I have not. Link?

Have you heard of Jim Butcher? He writes my favorite series.

[C.W. Sims]

I think I have heard of him. Not sure though. Here is a link to the first book I ever rad from Mr. Reynolds. Got me hooked. Amazing sci-fi author.

Revelation Space

This is the first book of the series I'm talking about. It's 13 books long with 14 on the way.

[C.W. Sims]

I am familiar with those books. I have never read them. I shall have to add them to my must read list and see what I think. Right now I am reading The Greatest Show On Earth by Dawkins, and I have Crime and Punishment lined up right after that. It might take me some time but I will let you know what I think. Keep pestering me if you have to. I have a terrible memory.
