I do this too! Lately I've just been highlighting stuff on my kindle or use those little post it note things so I can go back at my leisure.

Slowly and with a complete lack of imagination. I would really love to enjoy reading, but I don't :(

Mostly this. I am an astoundingly slow reader; I forgot the exact number but I want to say that my speed about one quarter of the average college undergrad's. 95% of what I read is academic stuff, because that's typically what interests me most. If I read fiction, it's usually something small and dense that focuses less and characters and plot and more themes and emotion.

I absolutely love reading but I'm not a fan of fictional stories. I prefer biographies, history, and especially various takes on music commentary and criticism. And yes...my reading includes the newspaper as well ( :thumb: ) ! Overall, I'm a pretty fast reader. However, comprehension is VERY important to me ( :wavey: ).

Very quickly. 1984? One week. Lord of the Flies? Two days. Fahrenheit 451? One.

I used to read really really fast, but now I've learned to only read a little at a time makes the book last for me. I'm reading the Fountainhead and after a few weeks I'm only halfway through chapter 4.

I've always been really dependent on other people for recommendations on what to read. I'm pretty slow with it. I've always always had troubles with not having the energy to gainfully invest in whatever I'm reading or having too much and occupying myself in other ways. Usually with work or getting messed up. I'm still reading 1Q84 right now and I got it about a month and a half ago.

Upside down.

Depends on the book. Someone like Cormac McCarthy is a hell of a tougher read than say, Steven King.

We read aloud. An hour set aside after dinner for it.
