FRIDAY, August 19

Happy Friday everyone!!! Rest from your toils if you can, know you've done what you could, lay not upon yourself too much at a time, the weekend is to recharge your inner battery, enjoy!!

For me, i might just read from The Atlas today, the title chapter is what i'm on now half way through and it's a long 3 hour chapter, i figure i should try to ride the rest out, a normal good reader can read a whole book in a day, so me a kinda wonky reader should be able to read half a book in a day. There's something comforting about Vollmann, he's just a guy, trying to get the most out of life, to really know other people. Did you know he went to the North Pole and almost died? That's the kind of guy we're talking about.

It must be a pretty short read to read a book in a day – this mythical reader you speak of. There is no “should” in reading. Read for pleasure.

@Carissimi Lovely words, thank you. I can see it for those page turner thrillers, but other types require more of a stately progress.

I read a lot, every day, but even with a page turner, it takes a few days to read. I can read several books a week, but the problem with this is all the storylines start to merge. @SW-User

@Carissimi Good to hear, i make it all blend together, mostly non-fiction though.
