Right now, I am chewing through The God Delusion.
I both read and buy a lot of books. Infact, most of my funny money goes on books, as I go through them fast. I have a reading speed of around 6 ppm for fiction and 3-4ppm for non-fiction.
$100 of books barely lasts a few days :(
- hardik 18y agodo they have second hand book shops where you live? :)
- lacker 18y agoThey have buy-it-used-from-Amazon pretty much everywhere. Although at some point, the cost of the space to store your books exceeds the cost of the books themselves, so you need a way to get rid of them without feeling guilty. I recommend BookMooch....
- maximilian 18y agoyou read 6 ppm reading fiction! Holy shit! I don't think I read even half that. You should get your books at the library. Its much cheaper and then you give it back and somebody else gets to read it. Far fewer dead trees and moving is infinitely easier.
- ajkirwin 18y agoAnd even faster if it's a good day and I really get into it. I tend to read a sentence or paragraph at a time.
- MikeCapone 18y agoGod Delusion's pretty great. Hitchens' book is good too, and covers a lot of the same stuff from different angles (plus, Hitchens has a great pen).
