    I read too fast

    I've already finished four of the books I got for christmas, and I'm halfway through the last.

    What can I say? Clive Cussler and Vince Flynn are great authors.

    Also, Final Exams are drawing near, fun fun fun.
    I'm a turkey!

    I'm also a Mentor. What does that mean? It means if you have any questions, all you have to do is ask me. My job is to help you feel comfortable here. (The mods' job is to take away cookies as punishment. Twisted fiends.)

    I know that feeling of reading too fast. You can't help it, if it's a good book. But then it's over too quickly.

    I know, I almost finished all my books before school even started up again. >.> I'll have to go to B&N soon.

    Sounds like you need a birthday, and soon.
    The sand of the desert is sodden red, -
    Red with the wreck of a square that broke; -
    The Gatling's jammed and the colonel dead,
    And the regiment blind with dust and smoke.
    The river of death has brimmed his banks,
    And England's far, and Honour a name,
    But the voice of schoolboy rallies the ranks,
    "Play up! play up! and play the game!"

    Vitai Lampada (Sir Henry Newbolt, 1897)

    The ones I finish right away I absolutely love & actually lose sleep trying to finish. The others I'll read in fits & starts. I've been reading 'The Fourth Turning' for years but I refuse to give it up because I think it's important. It's ok to do that because I know deep down eventually I'll finish it. Then there are the others that I know I'll never finish, so I'll either donate it to the library or pass it on to someone else.

    There's also nothing wrong with having multiple books open at a time. Whatever I'm in the mood to read that day/night, that's what I'll read.
    First this one story...

    Ditto - I've read all six of the books I got for chritmas, and I've got nothing else to read now :/

    And my exams are comming up, They start on Fri 13th may, which is kind of scaring me a bit.

    But yeah, you'll be fine, and I'm sure you'll find some more books
