I'm a slow reader and therefore I hate assigned readings. I like to read at my own pace.

I dont mind reading, and I can read stuff at a nice pace, but my attention span the last couple of years has prohibited it. I start reading and literally in 30seconds my mind is on something else.

I get distracted too. I'll read a couple pages and then realize I have no clue what I just read.

I'm moderately fast reader, but I dislike reading things I don't have much interest in, but if I'm interested in it (like that pulp fiction article Scothew posted a while ago) I can read it really fast.

Yeah, it was good. I read about half of it on my phone, but that got annoying so I got on the laptop and re-read it from the beginning.

Driving home from work yesterday, I found a new back road to take that allows me to dodge all the terrible St. Louis traffic. It has some beautiful straights and some nice banked curves...as if my new job could get any better!

Feeling like a dog trapped in a cage that can't get out and run.
