I love the way you express the contrast with taking little nibbles - that is never as satisfying for me somehow; altho I do occasionally try to do it.Fiona Dempsterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09275413906419343228noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-38822767235563607452011-10-04T03:08:19.266+10:002011-10-04T03:08:19.266+10:00What a great image for those who read voraciously!...What a great image for those who read voraciously! I too have mixed feelings about this tendency to consume a book whole rather than take little nibbles and make the experience last for days and days. For me it is not impatience to find out what happens next that propels me but a desire to throw myself deeply into a book, and that requires one big long whoosh of a reading session, cover to cover! More often than not I feel regret that I did not take more time to savor...and can't recall the details later. But while it lasts it's quite a ride!Gisizeehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08842508709852026701noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8070917680632622858.post-14145018410666983872011-10-01T20:50:19.008+10:002011-10-01T20:50:19.008+10:00Jennifer - so true, I love to get lost in a book
