good/blah and other stuff

[metawidget]

Elizabeth and I read really differently. Whether it's a book or a magazine, I tend to read stuff straight through; I at least have to take a crack at a chapter or article and give up on it before moving on to the next one. She moves around the volume and picks out what appeals to her. With good books, we both read the same amount of stuff.

it seems the 'blah' is vastly outweighed by the 'yeah'.
kudos.

Even if they're chapters from a novel?

More nonfiction and other less-intrinsically-sequential stuff.

Novels are another kettle of fish, although I suspect I read a novel concurrently with less books than she does (happily, anyway).

You're right, but it's funny... I think of you as much more into multi-tasking than me.
