Without even realizing it, I'm back to warp speed!I do exactly the same thing. As a matter of fact about 2 years ago, I also read Mr. Norrell and was very disappointed. Do you tend to buy thick books because they'll last longer?

Ha ha ha ha ha ha! Yes!!! That was one of the reasons I got Mr. Norrell!
It's also why I like a good series. Then I can re-read several back-to-back and feel like I've had a good looooong story. You too, I bet!

A thicker book has a better chance of lasting more than one day. Especially on a weekend. Sad, can't slow down. So I'll re-read a book to just =relish= it. Week days I'm stuck working so can't read as much.
