Or something like that.

I consider myself to be a fast reader. I used to be a readaholic in my youth and, even though I don't read as much as I did then, I still manage to read a lot. My typing has improved, though, and so has my concentration for it. However, the more that I have to type, the slower that I'll become. But it's not as bad as it used to be, where I could end up spending six to nine hours making a single (though good-sized) post; lately, at worst, it could end up being four hours.

I like reading, I really do. But the problem for me comes with my style. Sometimes I'll think I've missed something and go back to figure out what I supposedly missed, only to find out I was just misunderstanding something. On the opposite side I can talk and type pretty fast in comparison. Though my laziness prevents me from putting a whole lot of effort into anything, I find that I usually put more effort into the typing/writing aspect of things more than the reading.

I can read an 800 page novel in 2 days.

And sometimes like Mendo I find myself going back to figure out what I missed, usually because I got too engrossed in the story and read several pages without actually reading them.

I type all day, but then I go to my room and read for a few hours. Other than that, I'm on Xbox.

Sadly, that won't be the case soon, due to school, and hopefully a new job.

I think I'm equally capable of talking/typing/reading/etc. at any given time, with no preference towards any of them, really.

I don't really care, but reading is easier than typing.

hmm...accidentally hit the third when I meant the first.

I read _fast_.....some call it skim-reading, but I know what happens to every character and whatnot...

(shrugs)

I read the last Harry Potter book in about 3.5 hours....and I liked it.

Typing is okay, depending if on I know what I'm going to write....take fanfiction, I can usually get about 5,000 words an hour if I know where I'm going....and I don't usually talk too fast....

I needed around 20 ours to read the Potter, but I broke it into 4 pieces and read like 150 Pages per day. I'm a reader-person
