I read almost every night, may not be for long, but I read till I fall asleep, usually wake up to find my book in the floor, then the next night by the time I find my place, I'm fallin asleep again. Books last me a while. LOL
And Mr Lilly never says a word.......lamp left on and all.

If I'm reading one thats any good, tho' I usually don't read bad ones, I don't go to sleep. At least not until I've put the book down. I love to read. Dirk Pitt novels most recently. Fiction, but interesting, up to a point.

I go back and re-re-read them when I run out of fresh stuff. I can usually read a paperback in a day to a day and a half. But I have very little recall, so when I re-read them , it's almost like new! Laughing

I was like that in school, read somethin, put it down, and couldn't tell ya what it was about. Now, even tho I fall asleep readin, I retain way more of what I read......who knows why??? lol, most likely because it's somethin "I chose" to read and not somethin someone made me read.
Ever now n then I find a really good book and end up stayin up till all hours of the night/mornin readin, but not often.

Good books are like an old friend I don't mind revisiting them again after awhile-I've read 'Lonesome Dove' more than once. Hey why wouldn't I appreciate Reader 2nd telling me I have my priorities straight-lifes too short to stereotype or pigeon hole people-thank god or I'd think all Texans were like a certain funny hatted feller on here and that just wouldn't be right now would it.
