To this day I struggle reading books because it takes so darn long to get through them. I read at a pace of about 20 pages per hour. I know, it is terrible. I am probably not reading correctly. For some reason I read every single word. I have tried reading faster but I alway lose the meaning of the story or I missed a "NOT", or a "DID" or "Didn't" that would totally change the view of the story. Anyway, I am doing something that I have never done before. I am re-reading a book. Deanna has always talked about re-reading books and I have always thought she was crazy. Why would you want to re-read a book? It is hard enough getting through it the first time. The book I am re-reading is <a href="http://search.barnesandnoble.com/booksearch/isbnInquiry.asp?z=y&EAN=9780812550702&itm=1">"Enders Game" by Orson Scott Card</a>.<br /><br /><p><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Pn-Kn1bvHXo/R5aAfPC9E0I/AAAAAAAAADs/X-9IuAS6B2A/s1600-h/EndersGamePoster.jpg"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="http://bp1.blogger.com/_Pn-Kn1bvHXo/R5aAfPC9E0I/AAAAAAAAADs/X-9IuAS6B2A/s400/EndersGamePoster.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5158451697302704962" border="0" /></a><br /></p><br /><br />I really enjoyed reading this book the first time, plus, it doesn't have a thousand billion pages. I am half way through the book and I am really enjoying the second read. I remember bits and pieces from when I read it the first time which excites me more to keep reading.<br /><br />The down side of me really liking this book is that I found it in the Juvenile section of the Public Library. So, I figure, I am probably reading at about a 5th grade level to a 9th grade level. That is ok with me.<br /><br />Don't bother sending me your list of books that you know I will love. I probably won't read them. I tried to make a new years resolution a few years back that I would read 6 books during the year. Well, I didn't make it. I haven't had the courage to make a new years resolution like that again. I think I'll stick to movies and television.</p>Clinthttp://www.blogger.com/profile/02987107424050752870noreply@blogger.com
