Have you read the "A Song of Ice and Fire" series by George R.R. Martin? http://www.shelfari.com/series/A-Song-of-Ice-and-FireI haven't read them, but people are claiming they are as good or better than "Lord of the Rings"... not that I believe that, but even coming close is quite interesting, eh?
Well, I am not advocating speed reading for the sake of speed reading. Moreover, reading a fiction book slowly doesn't mean it makes the book better :-|
Forgot to mention... test with a relatively easy non-fiction book... fiction books and highly technical books are harder
Have you ever calculated your reading rate? I am reading a book on speed reading and I used to read 360 WPM (words per minute), but my last test I read 820 WPM! My memory recall suffered a little bit, but not too much where I didn't get the gist... but with more practice it becomes easier and easier to remember more.Instructions:Take three lines from your book and add up all the words and divide by three to get WPL (words per line).Count how many lines you read in three minutes to get your L (lines) read.Multiply WPL x L = to get W (words read)Divide W / 3 to get WPMI found it interesting... but that's my four cents...
Well, I think you should provide reviews for any new books you read. That way they are fresh in your mind. And, yes, if I had as many books as yours, I would not even attempt to review them all unless you are really bored. In which case, just read another book ;-)
So would you recommend The Dresden Files series? You seem to be giving it low ratings, yet you still continue to read the series :-p
Well, 323 books isn't a bad memory!
For you, no doubt. Do you even remember all the books you have read? lol
