@ Cora - Thanks. : )
Took me like forever to figure it out...and I refused to start posting around again till it was done. XP

@ Nephila - I'm doing good. Been a real long time since I was on here, and feel really out of the loop. XP
But life, and the two books I'm currently reading, have been more interesting lately... : )

@ Nephila - The Girl Who Played With Fire by Stieg Larsson & Social Intelligence by Daniel Goleman.

The former is cause I finished The Girl With The Dragon Tattoo and I wanted to read the sequels; while the latter is cause my mom is making me read it... >_>;

Hey Ari! : D

I have to agree with Cora about your avatar! Really cool! And how can you read two different books at once? DX

@Seiki - Heya! : D
Thanks! >w< I also love yours! <3
And... I just can. >w< Though, it helps that they're both two completely different genres so I won't mix them around. XP

@Nephila - Yeah, the first one's real good! Got some really dark themes, but still real good! : D You should read it! ; )

I'll have to make the time. I don't mind dark themes. I haven't seen the movies yet so I think I'll wait on seeing the movies till after. Maybe I can find a spoken version of the book. one that I can put in the background while doing art or other things. I rarely have time to read more than the paper.

@Nephila - I think you can get the audio books on iTunes? Not sure if it's in English or the original Swedish though..
I wish I knew Swedish so I could read the books in the original Swedish... would probably be slighter better than the English versions..

Nice. Newspapers can be pretty good reads.. : )

Thanks guys.

The newspapers here are so boring. Usually it's the same thing day after day with maybe one or two good stories. I read the lifestyle section of my paper every day cover to cover, and then skim the rest of the paper for new headlines.

I feel like if I read two different books at a time, the only way I'll process them both as different stories is if I reread the part that I just read when I pick up again once switching. My mind just doesn't want to let go of whatever story it's working on at that moment.

ps, why is no one posting in my even thread? does no one want 5k? DX

My mom kidnapped me and took me to Walmart and Ross just now looking for an outfit for her manager training graduation thing. Not my idea of fun.

It wouldn't have been a problem if my mom liked things that looked good. She has really bad taste in clothing, and said no to everything I suggested.

Really? I think I'm used to reading multiple things cause I tend to be reading fanfiction as well while I'm also reading books, so over time I just got the hang of switching around.

Though, I can still not get the hang of reading prologues or forewords cause they just keep boring me to death. >_>;


...Seiki has an event thread? : o
*goes to hunt for and post in now*

I mean, I suppose it depends on what I'm reading. If I'm reading a stories, my mind doesn't want to retain anything if there's more than one thing going on at a time. But if I'm reading information, its a whole different story. I can study and read because my mind stores the information differently. I don't know. It's weird.
