Ever since Legacies, whenever I pick up a new Jack book, I wait to start reading it until the same day of the week as the book begins, and then make every effort to only read that day's section each day and not to fall behind.

At first I did this just to prolong the reading experience and keep myself from binging like a kid on Halloween night, but then I found it accentuated the books' cliffhanger/episodic feel.

Someone tell me I'm not the only weirdo who does this. :o

Sorry, Lon. It's just you.

Welcome to the board, weirdo!

Let's just say you're one if a kind!

Unique maybe. Expressing self denial. Reprisalistic. Oh hell.......ya fit right in!

Your new Delta Tau Chi name is...Everett Sanders.

Hey bubba, whatever blows your dress up and gives you the most enjoyable read.

Sorry, Lon. It's just you.

Yup Lon, it's just you...

...AND ME!!

I do this too. Not always (like right now I've "slipped" several weeks in a row while reading The Tomb), and I don't necessarily wait until the day the book starts in order to start it (when Harbingers came out, I got it on...well, I forget which day it starts and am too lazy to go check, but I remember starting to read it several days before the day it starts, and I just kept reading that "day" until the day of the week came and went. If it started on a Thursday, and I had gotten the book on a Monday, I kept reading "Thursday" until Friday morning. Then Friday, Saturday, etc.

So don't worry, Lon. I like to get the "feel" of the book also.

Thanks for the welcomes above, folks. And Barry, glad to hear there's more than one RJ/FPW fan with my particular weirdness going on!

Following this particular method of reading, do you also watch each episode of "24" during the hour that it actually represents? It would be easy to do if you watch the series on DVD, but more difficult to schedule each week.
