    well good! keep it up, it's gets easier and more intruiging from here. my older brother never read a whole book on his own until he was 30! his reading skills had never been that good, and the whole thing was a big headache for him. i also think that my being such a speed reader geek kinda put him off, like he had to compete with me or something.


    what did you read?

    Congrats! I'm guilty of not finishing books. In school it drives people crazy because I never finish the books, and I still make better grades on my essays and test. :p

    i do too. (did, i graduated .. with honors haha) except for books i actually liked. like the great gatsby or black boy or lord of the flies. i tried to read all of them, but if i don't find it interesting they take FOREVER to finish.


    my dad actually incouraged me to use sparknotes. not like i did, but to look at it after i read the entire book.

    I'm happy for you :)

    I could never not finish a book. Even on the rare occasion when I find a book that I don't like, I still have to finish it. Reading is basically my life.

    True. We are all different and like different things (Dear God, how cliche that sounds!) :p

    Don't worry about it. Everyone seems to be a cliche here.
