On the Harry Potter book

[sombrefan]

One of the advantages of being able to speed read is that I could finish the book in about 2 and a half hours. It was good, I enjoyed it. Being interesting to see what she does next.

I'm detached enough from the books (long time between and I forget) that I'll wait until someone lends me a copy, but the speedreading. It gets you through a book fast, but doesn't it diminish the contemplation part of the experience? Not sure exactly what I mean there, but something to do with staying in the world and have it kind of blossom in the imagination over the course of a longer period of reading.

I read incredibly slowly. It takes me about a week of a few hours per day to do an average size book. I'd kill for simonf's mad skills.

I enjoy he's mad skills as well. It means I got to start the book sooner!

Finished it about an hour ago. I fell in love with Harry all over again. My eyes were all puffy afterwards. I can't believe it's over. Sigh.

2 1/2 hours? Damn, Simon! You do have some mad skills.
