Since I retired almost a year ago I’ve been reading much more than when I was working. The other day I finished a book and started thinking about my next read. Then I started thinking about my reading “style” and what others’ style might be. Thought it might be a fun thread.
Things like:
Do you read for hours at a clip? Or just a short burst, like a chapter here and there? (I tend to read for longer periods at a time)
Do you linger over the words and phrases? (I know I shouldn’t but I tend to rush through, to advance through the story)
Do you form storylines in your head or can you remain neutral and let the plot play out? (I tend to guess where things are going)
Kindle/e-books or paper? (Kindle… Which I love but the other day I realized that sometimes I forget the title of what I’m reading!)
After finishing a book…do you immediately jump to a new read? Or mull over the one you’ve just finished? (I usually am not ready for a new one for a couple days)
Do you stick to either fiction/non-fiction or coffee a little of both? (Mostly fiction)
Need a quiet spot? Or can you read anywhere? (anywhere for me, although I don’t read in bed before sleep)
Any other interesting things?
I know from the “Good Books” thread that there’s a lot of CC readers… Just curious!
