with reference books it doesnt matter how many I read but I can't read 2 novels at once, I forget where I am and what's happening, and I just don't see the point. It's liek with games, I only play one at a time so that I can get maximum enjoyment from that one. If I play 2 at once, each one is a little less fun, my interest becomes divided or over-shadowed. No way I could ever keep up with ur ten to 15, now I know what the true meaning of book worm really is!
I don't read multiple novels at once; but I blaze through novels. You don't want to "read" fiction; you want to see it come alive in your mind. Turn the words into pictures, make it into a mental flcik. The slower you read a novel, the less involving it is (the faster you read it *without* skimming, the more you involve your senses. You have to bypass your conscious mind so that reading is truly effortless). The trick is to read phrases and paragraphs instead of words, and to turn those blocks of words into mental imagery the moment your eyes hit them. Never subvocalize. Really good readers (and I'm just above average) can read a page in a single glance.
When you have the ability to read really really fast, you'll know when to hike up the speed, and when to slow down and savour it. Having that choice opens up a world of possibilities.
I can read liek lightning if I want, I just like to read one book at once, before bed everyday. Often just a few pages a day so that I can continue the saga. I tend to read the kind of books that must be savoured. I like imagery and profound idea to be worked in besides the regular this happens than that. |

c'est génial. j'espère que t'as lu la Belgariade avant ! et une fois que t'as fini la Mallorée, ya encore l'histoire de Polgara, l'histoire de Belgarath, et le Codex Mrin en livres séparés. |

| Oui je suis en train de lire la série au complet. (on a tout les livres) J'adore ça, je ne pensais pas aimer autant ça, je m'attendais à une histoire plutot simpliste, je me fourvoyais royalement. Les personnages, les descriptions et la trame narrative (on évolue avec les personnages) sont tellement bien développés. bref je le recommande à tout le monde! |
