Unfortunately? LOL I envy you! I am slow reader so I have a lot of unread books.
But I also couldn't stop and couldn't put it down. One night, I was reading it throughout all night.
When it comes to good books I am also a fast reader. I cannot put down a book that has really got a hold on me. Harbingers was that way. It is hard at times to stop myself from just skipping ahead to see what happens because I'm all keyed up and nervous because something is not yet right!

Me too. When I have a really good book to read I'll keep reading until I literally can't keep my eyes open. When I read Harbingers, I only got about 4 hours of sleep each night. The good part about being a fast reader is that it was only two nights that I was was so sleep-deprived.

That's what re-reads are for.

True, true....Actually, I'm re-reading Nightworld, but the last time I read it was 12 years ago (when the book came out). So this is first re-reading. How amazing! Feels like new book.
Well, someday I'll re-read Reborn and Reprisal.

See, people don't understand when you say that. I'd love to be able to read slower and make a good book last longer.

Always listen to experts. They'll tell you what can't be done and why. Then do it. RAH
Reading a RMJ book slow is for the second read............I'm just as bad. Can't put the book down, read well into the wee hours of the morning and not want to stop until I know what happens. No self control. I think we're all are like this, that's why we're here.

that'S the same thign I always say to myself. I am not the slowest reader, normal I would say, but, not really fast. When I see some of my freinds... ui...
But they never have enough books, I don't have this problem ^^
But I don't read so much...
