Listening to audiobooks really reminded me to slow down...I sometimes find myself reading portions of the book books I'm reading aloud just to hear the words...isn't that silly?? I'm reading The Historian right now and I find myself frequently reading the descriptions of the cities and homes as well as new characters...just to enjoy the words. I certainly don't think all books are meant to be read that way though :)Peppermint Ph.D.https://www.blogger.com/profile/02839146118641977559noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-236334828969414641.post-88866989253105090772010-10-17T11:54:59.486-07:002010-10-17T11:54:59.486-07:00Sometimes you are able to immerse yourself into th...Sometimes you are able to immerse yourself into the story more and actually absorb more of the author's writing when you take the time to read it slowly.
