Got a new book Friday as part of an early Xmas excuse to get a new book, I got one for Munin and Munin got one for me.
I bolted mine. No other way to put it. I devoured it, reading way to quickly that I found myself skipping sections of paragraphs...
Couldn't stop myself, tried to slow down, but like a falling object I just kept on at that terminal velocity, unchecked, unstopped.
Finished, but of course now I need to read it again at a more pedestrian speed in order to catch all the nuances and atmosphere that had previously rushed past my ears, whistling past.
Morale of the story, chew your books more carefully, or be prepared like a literary cow to rechew.
Mind you, I'll enjoy it the next time around, and the time after that too, so no worries.
[Munin ~ whereas, I am still chewing through mine ;)]
