Wow, 6th year necromancy...
Have you considered audiobooks while doing something like minecraft or a mmo? I've been doing that quite a bit recently.After not reading anything in years (the narcolepsy makes it REALLY easy to fall asleep after getting somewhere comfy to start reading), I have decided to give reading a try again, in small bites, in the most uncomfortable places I can think of.
So I'm rereading the The Name of the Wind. I love this book. I hate that there's no third one yet and maybe never will be. But fuck it. The book is just so good and makes me so happy when I read it.
I missed reading...
I tried, but I gata focus on the book entirely, otherwise I just end up missing context and lines and sentences and the whole thing falls apart. Audiobooks aren't any worse than regular books. But they aren't any better either.Have you considered audiobooks while doing something like minecraft or a mmo? I've been doing that quite a bit recently.
There is no third one, but there is a nice little novelette that he did about Kvoth, called The Slow Regard of Silent Things.I tried, but I gata focus on the book entirely, otherwise I just end up missing context and lines and sentences and the whole thing falls apart.

Still, I'm doing okay with this. I just read it in really short bursts. It's one of the reasons I chose The Name of the Wind. I had read it before (so I didn't have to worry quite as much about reading comprehension), and I knew it had very very very short chapters. Like 10-30 pages on my tiny iPhone5s screen. And that's the secret. I just read a chapter at a time in between other activities. it's working well, so I hope I can keep going.
thats cool and interesting!I'm reading "If You Are Not First, You Are Last" by Grant Cardone. He's a sales guru and the entire book is about actions you need to take in a down market to increase your business. It's a business book, and I'm learning stuff. Now to just put it in action.
Peter Brett? I just bought the series so hopefully it is this guy.I just finished Peter Brinks 5 book series the Demon Cycle. I thoroughly enjoyed it. It is a good Fantasy read. I was hooked on it and couldn't put it down. IF you are into good swords, demons, and sorcery then this series is for you.
