This is not rushing to me - however if the story bogs down or doesn't hold my interest it takes significantly longer to read. Occasionally I'll come across a truly good book that takes longer to read but in those cases it is not a result of the quality of the writing.<BR/><BR/>If speed reading is faster than my average I would have to say are you crazy to someone who would intentionally "rush" to speed read something. I already go through so many books in a month or year that I have to rely primarily on the library and secondly on friends who have books I haven't yet read to provide new material for me to devour. If I read any faster I'd run out of readable books from my usual sources or be spending a large fortune to keep my appetite supplied.<BR/><BR/>MelissaAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-1117119995179591152005-05-26T11:06:00.000-04:002005-05-26T11:06:00.000-04:00I'm glad you enjoyed it Rachel, and deeply gratefu...I'm glad you enjoyed it Rachel, and deeply grateful that you took the time to let me know.Brenda Coulterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13528691681455659296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9791523.post-1117116290481006892005-05-26T10:04:00.000-04:002005-05-26T10:04:00.000-04:00I read very quickly, according to my friends, and ...I read very quickly, according to my friends, and can finish a novel in about five hours. If it is not very interesting, it takes me much longer because I put it down frequently and thus have to get back into the story. I finished yours in about four hours, but I am going to read it again. I am looking forward to your next book.
