Question #10: Breaking the spine or keeping it new?Īshley: The reason I LOVE hardcover is that it still looks new when you are finished reading. It might be a strange obsessive compulsive thing but I will often re-read entire paragraphs to make sure that I didn't miss anything. However, it is awful when having a conversation with a fellow literature lover and they start discussing the exact paragraph you so wittingly - at the time- skipped.Ĭhristie: I skip NOTHING. Which is fantastic during the moment because now you've made it that much closer to the end. Question #9: Do you read ahead or skip pages?Īshley: I've never skipped actual pages but I have skipped paragraphs. :) As for me, I read silently in my head. Unless I'm reading to another I like to keep the words in my head.Ĭhristie: I love Ashley's response! She would so do that. Maybe I felt at the time it made it a more authentic experience, or something :). Question #8: Reading out loud or silently in your head?Īshley: As embarrassing as this could be for some, when I was in my Jane Austen Literature class I use to read out loud in my room and in a British accent. Sometimes my cubicle at work makes for a cozy reading spot. I will say though that I do try to bring a book with me wherever I go. I can read anywhere.Ĭhristie: I can read most places, except in moving vehicles. You never know when an oporturne moment to immerse yourself back into the fantasy of the book you are reading. Question #7: Reading at home or everywhere?Īshley: I always have a book on me. One day I'll finish them.maybe.Ĭhristie: One book at a time. I have many half read books on my book shelf. This is only when I can't seem to get into a book - I always start another one. Question #6: One book at a time, or several at once?Īshley: I've been known to start many books at once. It really depends on my mood and the book I am reading. Somedays I can read with the TV blaring, or my boyfriend playing video games, but others I need complete silence. on, iPod in, and still be able to focus completely on the pages she was reading.Ĭhristie: I go back and forth. My mother on the other hand could have the t.v. The music also helped me remember and recall what I actually had read when writing a paper or writing an exam. The only time I was able to listen to music while reading was in school and the reading was usually dense. Question #5: Can you read while listening to music/watching TV?Īshley: I really need complete silence.
