I was in Alabama when I started reading it. :) So I took my time in between traveling to read some. But the fist part was a little boring to me; my Mom had to say several times to read more of it! ^^;; Which I find shocking now... :o

It took me a little longer than a year.  I started it and got to the 4th chapter and I got bored... so I put it down for a year, then picked it up again 'coz I was bored and finished it a month later. :)

If only the required books were this good...

It took me like 3 weeks because what I would do was... during summer vaca, I would start reading at about 8:00pm and not stop until about 1:30am lol so that's the only time I read. Plus, I'm a slow reader lol. I know someone who read it in 2 days... amazing...

 :o 2 days? :o
I don't like finishing books quickly.  I like bringing them out.. plus, then I won't have anything to read if I read 'em fast!

Yes! I love to pace my books! :) I read some, and leave it (even if it's a good part) and pick it up later! :D Makes you love it even more! ^___^
And besides, my brain gets clogged up if I read too much at one time. @.@;

Post by: pansy on January 17, 2003, 07:02:14 AM
It took me a little less than three days to read the first one: About four to read the second one: One day to read the third one (thats my favorite) and exactly seven days to read the fourth one. I don't like to read books fast either, but when you have a book like this you just get into it so much. Im now reading the Hp books for the eight time in a year (which is probably very little compared to you lot) Lol! Have a great day.

I live in the states but I was born in england so my brother has the chamber of secrets books with the original cover *shrugs* unfortunatley, thats the only one we have because when my dad bought it for him ages ago, he didn't know it was a series *lol*. Anyway though, did you know that in England the HP series came out five years before it did anywhere else? :o

I read book five in a matter of about six hours, taking in the main ideas, but not all the details-[straight, no interruptions]
Then I re-read it VERY slowly and took in as much as I could.
Then I re-read it again and again and again then and every time, seemingly took in somethng new every time.


I dunno. lol. It's a process. :P

I love reading as well. I prefer it over talking on the phone. I drive my friends crazy, for I'm always typing something, or reading, and telling them to leave me be. They don't of course, but I guess my friends were never UN-persistant.

But of course, Zero. A lot of myfe is taken up by reading or writing, and if not that, I'm on the snow or in the water, or heavens knows where else.. (Or at school :P)

Look at me, talking on and on about me. Sorry about that. So you're interested in writing, eh? Do you prefer certain kinds of writing, or are you just open to all?..
Title: Re: If you've read book 4 .....how long.....
Post by: 0612 on March 19, 2005, 09:47:49 AM
Oh, well. It's good to know a little about people...
Well, I seriously prefer writing fiction. It's like... there's no restriction, you can go all out and write anything you like. That's seriously much better than haveing to write non-fiction, since in non-fiction, you're restricted to the truth.
Title: Re: If you've read book 4 .....how long.....
Post by: _Lavender_ on March 19, 2005, 09:54:34 AM
Yes, very true.
A while ago I was writing a non-fiction story--you're right, it is a WHOLE lot more difficult. I think for me it is pretty much the same, bacause of the restrictions. I have a bit of trouble writing fictions because even with knowing the truth, I drift off into writing about some of my characters. I don't know, I like to day-dream...
I like reading fictional stories as well, though there are quite a few non-fictions I have read and liked. Probably for the same reasons, and it is just easier to imagine myself in the characters' positions.

The very confused,
Lav.
