.. at 11 weeks down for the year. I am so on target for one book a week. Finally! only 3 years in the making. Looking around for my next read at the moment and am leaning towards my favourite Austen book, again. I read Persuasion at least once a year, I just adore it. The tale of 'loving longest, even when all hope has gone' just gets to me for some reason.
Treezy asked me how do I manage to read so quickly. Very simple. I read multiple books at a time, I'll spend a few hours of the day reading every evening (I prefer reading to TV or DVD's at the moment), and I don't have any kind of a life.
Not that I miss it mind you, I'm quite happy to live vicariously through my characters. Bring on Anne Elliot.

I could never read multiple books at the same time. I love giving in to the world and the characters, and I just can't do that if I have multiple worlds and characters. 4 hours a day? Impressive. I probably read for about one.
