I think the reason is that I have A LOT of variety, in author, genre, size, age group (I indulge in a YA book every month I would say) and most of all read several books at the same time. Chunksters hold a person back when you have to carry it around. I always make sure I am reading a book that is compact and easy to carry so that even if I am waiting in line to pay, I can easily whip it out. Some people cannot follow several texts at once and often I find it is those people who aren't able to read as much (granted this being posted on the www I am sure someone will prove me wrong).<BR/><BR/>I recently discovered Dickens myself with the Christmas Carol. His humour is fantastic! Enjoy Copperfeild and will be seeing you at the other group blog once I get all my thoughts worked out on R&B... dam that book is crazy!nessiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04182423080676677535noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5767816.post-1168802443655509592007-01-14T14:20:00.000-05:002007-01-14T14:20:00.000-05:0048 books last year?
