I'm currently reading mysteries in analytically and am surprised at some of my findings. Okay, and I'm also reading in comparison mode as I have a mystery coming out in November.

Some years ago I read...Thanks for your post Sarah,<br /><br />Some years ago I read a book about <i>Speed Reading</i> that opened my eyes, because of that book I discovered that paradoxically reading faster can actually help with understanding the thoughts of the writer better. <br /><br />When I would have read this book sooner, I might have developed much more enjoyment from reading (fiction) books early on. While I still am not really such a book reader, I now am developing a little more enjoyment in book reading, and amazingly enough I also actually do have a <i>- Book Review Blog -at: </i> <a href="http://hpshappybooks.blogspot.nl/" rel="nofollow">hpshappybooks.blogspot.com</a> where I write <i>Book Reviews.</i> <br /><br />It's not alway's easy to find the time to actually read books, so that's why I usually let others read them, that's also the reason that on that Book Review Blog of mine, I ask <i>- the readers -</i> to write their comments on books, or to give their book suggestions. Only while compared to my other blogs <i>- where I do frequently get comments on blogposts -</i> paradoxically <i>Readers & Writer's</i> seem to be the worst comment writers! :)<br /><br />For what a Book I read 'recently' is concerned, last year <br />on vacation I read a <i>(not to many pages)</i> little book from <i><b>Paul Coelho</b></i> and I also do read loads and loads of <i>non-fictional books, magazines, newspapers, forums and blogs etc. etc.</i> with high speed. <br /><br />For what <i>Reciprocity</i> is concerned, when people read more of my blogposts, write more comments, and buy more products I might be able to have longer vacations and make a little more time to read more books :) <br /><br /><br /><br /> <br /> HP van Duurenhttp://hpshappywriting2.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.com
