do you…
know how completely stupid I feel now. It takes me at least a month and a half to finish anything beyond a pb. And you’ve listed a whole library for just one month.

Re: do you…
Don, Do not, do NOT feel bad about this. We are different people and bring different things to the table. There are a lot of things I CAN’T do (like draw or paint or anything athletic and I mispronounce words. I’m not mechanically inclined, can only grow things in the ground outside, etc, etc, etc.)
I grew up a very lonely only child and books were most often my only companions. Anything you spend a lot of time with, you get better at. I’ve just been at the reading thing longer than you have. And I read at the expense of doing a LOT of other things (cleaning, cooking,etc.) I couldn’t come close to reading that much when my kids were as young as your little boy.
Re: do you…
Whoops…that’s a new one. Being anonymous on my own LJ. Anyway, was going to add that we (my husband and I) figured out I read about 100 pages an hour, for what it’s worth.

Wow!
I remember being put in a speed reading class in 7th grade. I bombed.
