Are You A Good Reader?

[Little Red Wagon Repairman]

I may be the worst reader here. If I can't sit on the toilet and finish something before my feet fall asleep it ain't worth reading.

If I find a book I really like would you read it to me?

I know if its something I'm going to like in the first couple sentences. If I'm not into it, it aint happening.

Reading can be hard at times.

In your other thread, I discussed A Clockwork Orange. The 1971 film. Try reading the Anthony Burgess novel of the same name published in 1962. It will take you about forty minutes to an hour and a quarter maybe even two hours to read the first few pages. I guarantee it. That's because it is in a different language. Mainly futuristic English slang and idioms that make up the story. Sort of like George Orwell's wordspeak in 1984. In A Clockwork Orange there is a glossary/appendix at the end of novel. You will need to constantly refer to it when first reading those early pages. But once you get a hang of it, the reading of the novel runs pretty smoothly.

Reading is so boooooooooooring!
The only books that I had where Playboy magazines and I didn't buy them for the articles.

I have to be interested, if I am, suddenly I have a talent for reading, but if not, I'm deslexiks

I like John Waters' quote - “If you go home with somebody and they don't have books, don't fuck 'em.”

I don't like to read books either. if you have a sleeping problem, try to read "The African Queen" and your problem is solved

P.S. : I had to read this book for school (English) and it is a very boring book.
