This month the first three were physical books for various reasons (the first two I wanted my purchase of them to speak as my support for them, the third was for a book club I go to at a local bookstore). The Goodwin is on a loan from a library as an ebook. I never listen to books on tape - I can't focus, and end up dropping parts of the story. I listen to a lot of podcasts while sewing or exercising; it's easier if I dip in and out of those.<br /><br />I actually got to have dinner with her a few years ago through a dinner + talk that my mother-in-law organized. She is sharp, thoughtful, and funny. She doesn't write as conversationally as she speaks, but I think on the gamut she's a much easier read than many historians!<br /><br />I am a pretty fast reader. I read Neverwhere in about 48 hours. If I'm on a roll, I can easily do ~100 pages an hour. On vacation, I do about a book a day.Amandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16071037752920853786noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751398798342994168.post-9483024505972398832017-03-02T20:19:51.408-05:002017-03-02T20:19:51.408-05:00Do you read books the old-fashioned way or listen ...Do you read books the old-fashioned way or listen to them or read them electronically or a combination of them? I'm in awe of your reading goal. I saw Doris Kearns Goodwin speak several years ago after she released the Abraham Lincoln book. Her delivery was kind of boring, but her information was riveting. I was very impressed.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02838778486401326850noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8751398798342994168.post-85920974288863170932017-03-02T18:41:05.352-05:002017-03-02T18:41:05.352-05:00Uhh yeah my savings is like $6?
