No they kinda come to a stop
I now just stick to 300 page or less novels.

There are only 10 types of people in the world: those who understand binary, and those who don't.
I read a song of fire & ice in double quick time and I now regret reading the books so fast.
His Excellency President for Life, Field Marshal Al Hadji Doctor Idi Amin, VC, DSO, MC, Lord of All the Beasts of the Earth and Fishes of the Sea
Why? What does it matter if it takes you a little longer to finish a book?
"Unseen, in the background, Fate was quietly slipping the lead into the boxing-glove..."
Forgetting the characters? That's the biggest problem I have these days if I take too long on a particular book.
During Vacation time... a week or maybe two.
During the rest of the year... it can take months as I only have time to read just before bed.
Yeah. I've read books slowly or put them down for some time and then I forgot what happened at the beginning or who the characters are. Age is a horrible thing

That goodreads looks like a nice site. Joined, same nic and am on the sa group.
By and large, Goodreads ratings/reviews seem to me to be more honest than those on Amazon.

I end up paging back through the book and getting to a section and thinking: "hell, this looks interesting, how did I miss this?" and then reading it all over again until the grey cells remake the connection
With so much material to read you always looking to finish quickly and start another.

Couple of months or weeks. I mostly only have time when I go to bed to read a bit.
During holidays though maybe a week.
For those interested in post-apocalyptic type books, have a look at Wool (Omnibus Edition) by Hugh Howey. I was pleasantly surprised.
So I've finally completed the Dune series. What a mother cliffhanger ending? Are the ending books by the son worth reading?
Business eats a lot of my time and I spend a lot of it on the road. Recently I re-ignited my love of reading via audiobooks from audible.com
Absolutely fabulous. I urge you to try it if you have not already.
(Must admit that it is not everyone cup of tea - but it works great for me.)
