Jay, do you read incredibly fast or do you never leave your house????? (LOL)
Hey Gary This is a buy list, not necessarily a read list.

However, I read a lot at the beach, which it outside my door, so indeed I go out everyday I don't have any daily responsibilities so I'm able to get what I want done. I live in a summer toursit town, so indulging myself is something don't miss out on

Regarding reading fast, it depends, it's hard to judge how fast one reads because I'm not sure what the average rate for a person is. Generally I can finish a book like Martin's Storm of Swords (I think 1100 pages or so) in about 4-5 hours if I am both not rushing, and also not interrupted by too many phone calls etc.

I can't say I'm a fast reader, but I have never met anyone who has read noticeably faster, but on the flip side, generally I do think others are pretty slow readers.
