June 27th 28th 29th! 3 DAYS! AWESOME!

[Sporlo]

OK, so on Wednesday night (27th) I saw this cool Modern Marvels show on CHEESE!!!!!! IT WAS SOOO COOL! I LEANED SOOOOOOOOO MUCH STUFF ALL ABOUT CHEESE! I never knew cheese could be so full of facts!

Then, that night I started reading The Subtle Knife. It was so good that I read 30 pages when I was supposed to be sleeping.

NEXT DAY>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

Ok, so on Thursday (yesterday), I went to Track practice and did stuff. At the very end a coach offered if I wanted to lift weights with a bunch of people after the practices in the future! well its part of an after-practice workout thing that a bunch of people do with the coaches.

Then, since the book was so awesome, I sat in my house for the next 5.5 hours straight reading 200 pages of my book!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! IT WAS SOOOOOOO AWESOME!!!!!!!! So, in about 18 hours i had read 230 pages in a 320 page book. I've never done that before

So then I felt REALLY crappy from sitting on my bed doing nothing ALL day. BUT, i was like insane and then when it was time for bed, I STAYED UP FOR ANOTHER 2 HOURS READING 50 PAGES!!!!! I stayed up till MIDNIGHT READING!

SO, that totalls to about 280 pages in 25 hours!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THAT'S REALLY FREAKY.

NEXT DAY>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>

THEN, TODAY, I FINISHED the book! So I read 320 pages in like 36 hours. That's really fast (for me).


So, I still have one more book in the Trilogy: The Amber Spyglass. It's got I think about 400+ pages. I'll bet I can finish it by Sunday night

Anyway, all of you should find the book The Golden Compass, read it, then read the next two books. It's a great series.

[Pablo]

That trilogy is awesome! I've read 'em all. How fast can you read Harry Potter #5?

[Sporlo]

i read it in a week.


(i know, u'll say u did it faster, but that's still fast)

[Lonestar]

I saw those books in the piles off junk at our garage sale. I should have read them...

[Pablo]

A week is very fast for 900 pages! I don't think I read it that fast.

[Perishingflames]

25 pages an hour? That seems very slow. Are the pages just very long?

[Sporlo]

I had about 32 pages an hour for The Subtle Knife. (over a course of 36 hours, but I had to sleep/do other stuff, so I had about 10 hours of READING time)

I'm not a super fast reader...

also, I don't care page per hour, I care how fast I finish the book, and 36 hours is FAST.


900 pages in 36 hours is 25 pages per hour. (you the harry5 statistics with the knife statistics)

I read harry 5 in a week and it had 870 pages. that's 5 pages an hour if I read CONSTANTLY with no sleep. But, I have no idea how much I read during the week, so I can't determine the REAL page per hour.

[Skiiz]

LOL, good job finishing the Subtle Knife. You're a slow reader though. I would consider myself a pretty fast reader, when I'm really into a book. I finished HP5 in like.......two days. I just read like the whole entire day though.

[Pablo]

I finished HP6 at 4 am the day after it came out.

Speaking of long books, is anyone going to the midnight HP7 release?

[Andrew]

No, but it'll be coming in the mail on the day of the release (we pre-ordered it off Amazon).

[Riblet]

I might camp out overnight to get HP7, just to hit it with a sledgehammer or something.

[Sporlo]

OMG! Pablo your insane! WTF 4 HOURS TO READ 600-ish PAGES!!!!!!! OMG! WTF!

[Pablo]

No, I mean the day after it came out. The book came at about 10 am, but then I had to go on errands with my dad and couldn't take the book, so I was able to only read about 150 pages during the day. Then I finished it during the night.
