this isnt actually a fair question because its not like we can plop down and just start reading. id love to do that but i have school, work, and then homework. it took me 2 days to finish Eldest while only being able to read at school for an hour in study hall. other than that i was at home and work after work i read some. if i could sit down and finish a book i could do it in one day like i did with every harry potter book and Moby Dick.

it is fair.. per se

i have school (college), a ton of housework (everyday i get up at 9 to work till 12, i live at a animal shelter and help run it, today i took down most of a wire fence with some barbwire) and i get some homework in college, i did have a job but i lost it because i pulled a chair out from under a girl while on the job lol

its not about how much time you have, its about how you manage it smile.gif

its also about being able to sit or lay down for a long time lol

you two should have grown up at a animal shelter like me, there is never any peace and quite around here lol

just try to tune stuff out, one you concentrate on reading all the other stuff falls away (if ypu can get into the book that is)
