What are you currently reading?
Nemesis by Isaac Asimov
How long have you been reading it (or them)? How much longer do you think it will take you to read it?
mmm... Either Monday or Tuesday. sometime tomorrow
Is it a gobble-in-one-session sort of book, or a read slowly through book, or a pick a page at random now and then book?
Hmmm... Definately too long for a one session read....
Do you ration books and force yourself to read them slowly? What books have you done this with recently?
Nope. I tend to read as much as I can.
Do you sometimes *wish* that you'd rationed a book when you get to the end of it?
Sometimes. Mostly ones by MErcedes Lackey! I love her stuff (some of her books are ones I've read in one session!) but there is only one first reading of a book... when you don't know what's going to happen... Do you prolong the pleasure of reading it for the first time, or torture yourself by making yourself wait to learn... :)
